That I would call phishing, and if I got it, it was fed to sa-learn and 
copied to a 1 day holding, then cleaned out on the next sa-learn run.

But I don't recall seeing this one below go by. And I go have some real 
hoodoozies in the spam folder already today...

Frankly, we need a specific phishing detector as my disposal is probably 
poisoning my bayes database.  Or is there such a critter I don't know 
about?
