Hi, I just wondered why my bayes filter does not learn as much ham mails as before.
Then I realized that the USER_IN_WHITELIST shortcirciut is set to spam which has tflags
noautoloearn. Does this really make sense?
The rationale is that you put an address on the whitelist when they might send mail that
looks like spam but you know it is really ham. If it looks like spam, you don't want the
Bayes filter to learn that it is ham, because from anyone else it would be spam.
Of course, someone on your whitelist can also send mail that looks like ham. The Bayes
filter can't learn anything one way or the other from that mail, so it is sent to noautolearn.
