Hi

We've just upgraded to v8.12 from v7.15. Love the new anti-spam
functionality, but see a major benefit in being able to update the
statistics in the word lists. I'm trying to work out the best way of
handling this as it would appear short of adding a word manually, you have
to have the email in a folder.

This sounds okay, but once you've downloaded it and Outlook has got it's
hands on it, the original message is lost for ever. How have other people
handled this issue?

It also leads me on to how the statistical analysis learns. What logic does
it use to class a word as spam? If it sees the word "tree" for the first
time the default is that it only has a 40% chance of being spam. What
happens if its then used in lots of spam, but the statistical analysis
doesn't work it out (although say a DNS BL does) to change the rating of
that word?

These queries are not answered in the official docs I've seen.

Thanks,

G.
