I just had a thought....  I've been getting tons of spam over the last few 
months, that I still have in my email client's spam folder (just haven't 
gotten around to deleting it).  Probably have over 30 or 40K spam msgs.  Can 
I just take those and copy them all directly into the spam/ directory to 
help give the corpus something to start with instead of just an empty file? 
Similarly, can I take valid emails and just drop them all in the notspam/ 
directory?

Corpus emails don't necessarily need to go through ASSP to build up the 
corpus, do they?

Is there any danger in my doing what I suggested?  I am assuming that the 
rebuildspamdb.pl strips out all the headers (to/from/etc), so I shouldn't 
have to worry that all the emails would be addressed to or from a small 
subset of users?

Thanks!

Eric
