I've been running this for about one day now. Looking through the spam folder, it looks as if perhaps only 1 in 100 of the messages required the extra netwrok checks in order to properly classify the message as spam. That results in a big savings in network activity, and overall computation time. Still wondering if the double processing of the message does any (or much) harm with respect to auto-whitlisting and/or auto-learning down the road. ------------------------------------------------------- This SF.net email is sponsored by: ObjectStore.
