No, it doesn't. In fact it's probably better that way because SA won't waste time updating the bayes database with the mis-classified stuff that will have to be backed out later. > 2) I've dirived the mbox files of pure ham and pure spam by running > mixed mail so SA has already seen this mail. That definitely doesn't make any difference *IF* you disabled auto-learning in the previous step. It shouldn't make any difference even if autolearning was on, because sa-learn will discard the tokens from the first pass on each message before re-learning, but it'll be somewhat faster if that's not necessary.
