I was naive. I did not expect to raise such heat and misunderstanding. Forgot how passionate people are about spam I guess... just for a moment... I guess I'll need to go back on my medication. %^b
I give. (peace, white flag & all that) But in the end, you do have a process for refining your spam filtering mechanisms, and ultimately correcting errors wherever they might show up.

Automatically maybe: The next major upgrade to Message Sniffer will keep statistics on the messages it captures in order to spot trends and outliers. The hint here is that it will be able to alert us when it traps a message that it doesn't usually see - something with a high potential to be a false positive. <snip> | > The | >unhappy subscriber complains that this is spam, and you add a filter to | >remove the content. | | no, you tell the unwilling subscriber to go get unsubscribed.
