For what it's worth, that's certainly the way other programs worked. As mail is processed, spam rules are made somewhere else. Back when I used a program using Bayesian rules, I quickly programmed it in two stages: Using a folder of lots of kept spam, selected them all, and flagged them as spam. And folders of kept non-spam, selected them all, and flagged them as non-spam. It was quite effective, but for one thing: If a mailing list became a source of spam, and you kept marking mail from it as being spam, the system can add the mailing list itself as being spam. Eventually I settled on not using junk detection, using a separate email address for mailing lists, having that address *only* accept mail from those lists. You get no false positives (real mail getting falsely flagged as spam), and the few that slip through I just hit the delete button once or twice each day (yes, it's that few). False positives are a huge curse. You lose touch with friends, you miss jobs and incoming bills. If you have to keep checking your junk mail folder for them, what's the point of using spam filtering? You're going to see the spam, anyway. -- uname -rsvp Linux 3.10.0-1160.76.1.el7.x86_64 #1 SMP Wed Aug 10 16:21:17 UTC 2022 x86_64 Boilerplate: All unexpected mail to my mailbox is automatically deleted.
