The sightings stuff mostly does not currently end up in the corpus, at least not
in an automated way.  The trouble is there's no real way to know if the stuff
posted to sightings is bounced, attached, forwarded, or if it's a false-positive
report or a false negative report.  As I said, the truth is really that it's
just a nice repository in case people want to go look through it.  I do
occasionally, but have to admit I don't do it as often as I might.  Partly this
is because the false(posi|nega)tive rate is so low, that there are other things
more useful for me to spend time on right now.  If over time our rates get
worse, then we have that nice accumulation of sightings to go back to and make
use of.
