regarding the Bob's-corpus issue.   I've been pondering this a bit, and I think
we have to leave it out of the rescore run.

Fundamentally, I don't trust the user population involved :(  I think your
users are using "learn as spam" to keep stuff that isn't *strictly* UBE out of
their mail folders; by using those logs, we'd generate score-sets to consider
spam to be "stuff your users don't want" rather than "unsolicited bulk email",
which is what we have to aim towards.

We used to have a spam definition, namely "spam == UBE", up somewhere related
to corpus policy, but I can't find it now.   But in my opinion that still
applies ;)

(to be honest, I'm not sure there's any good way to use someone else's email in
a rescoring run, since I've often wound up saying "yes, I subscribed to that
horrible spammy-looking newsletter that's sending with a misleading HELO
string", even for my own mail.  and you should see Rod's corpus! ;)
