IMO, the spoiler seem to improve SA's Bayes activity. I used to exclude
these from my sa-learn, but for the past two or three months I've fed all
of the so-called spam poison into the database, and bayes has gotten very
good at not only a) not treating this as ham-sign, but b) apparently
recognizing it as spam-sign. Almost all "spam poison" emails now hits
Bayes scores 80% or higher, most at 99%.

Sylvain Robitaille's SR_hxo_OrigIPNotIP rule posted here this week is
excellent for this purpose (hit over 3k spam, 0 ham, on my corpus).
