AFAICS, it would be better to upload both the false positives and the false negatives to this mailboxes with, for example, imap instead of simply forwarding the messages. Mail clients, normally remove smtp headers when forwarding messages. And it's better if the mail is passed to sa-learn with both body and original headers. Another solution would be to "bounce" the message to that other mailboxes (not all mail clients support bouncing messages, and most of them add some headers that are better not feeded to sa-learn). I think that uploading messages with imap it's the best solution (many mail clients can do that). Another advantage is that this way, smtp server refuses mail to this mailboxes and only the owner can upload messages there because only he knows the imap password. However, it has the inconvenient that you can not use the same mailbox to both sa-learn false positives and false negatives. I've set up something like this in my company and, given the really low rate of false positives, I've decided to process them manually (haven't seen a single one yet). Cheers. -- Kiko
