Do you actually move all your hams from your inbox to a separate
"confirmed ham" folder?

I have a bunch of folders I use to classify mail I want to keep long term. Some of them are marked as ham corpus sources. I also have explicit spam folders that I manually classify the junk into. Nothing is automatically fed to masscheck.

Typically every morning I go through my SA quarantine and drop them into one of the SA masscheck spam folders, and I'll occasionally copy specific messages that I don't put into one of my long-term classification folders into the ham_misc folder (which is marked as ham corpus) - for example, I've been collecting the Glorian swap list mails for the ham corpus that way.

The rare spam that makes it into my inbox also gets dropped into one of the masscheck spam folders.

I don't run masscheck on my inbox because I upload all of my corpora, not just the one corpus file that helps feed Justin's sought-fraud ruleset.

I have a script that I run after I've read my morning mail that copies the corpora folders over to an outbound directory structure that mimics the corpus upload directory structure. This script also does cleanup processing like strip SA markup and the DEFANGing that my security tool does, filters out old messages, and prevents dupes (using fetchmail tools' msgid cache) in case something accidentally gets copied to a folder twice, or to more than one folder. Then it all gets rsync'd up to the masscheck server.

I'll be happy to provide that script if anybody's interested.
