What flack jacket?  I have Bayes turned on now and I never did any
manual training on most of the accounts.  I just turned it on and let
autolearn (with the default settings) do it's thing.  So far, I have
received very few complaints.

But then again, I think less than half of my users are even taking
advantage of the spam markup.  Since I don't do any blocking or
sorting on the server, it is up to them to use MUA rules to sort or
delete the spam once my server has marked it.
