I have been using Spambayes for about a year now and have updated to the latest version. My operating system is Windows Vista Ultimate and my Outlook is one of the components of Office 2007. I think you'll find my configuration is not relevant to the question I have, though. While I may be overlooking something I do not see a "White List" or "Black List" in the product. Absent this feature I would expect certain things to be learned when your product is first trained. This appears NOT to be the case. For example, I have a college classmate, Ora Smith, who is in my contact list Friends Group and NotFromSpam group. I also have sent many messages to him and received many messages from him before installing your product. Despite this, I have found messages from him in the "Possible Spam " folder. Right clicking on the message I find no way to white list him but I do use the recover from spam button. Despite all this his messages continued to appear in the Possible Spam folder for quite some time. Is it unreasonable for me to expect that:
1. Anyone on your contact list or in a group on your contact list should NEVER be put in a spam folder or possible spam folder unless their messages have been deleted as spam on many occasions. 2. Anyone to whom you've sent an e-mail on more than or replied to on more than two occasions should not have their messages put in a spam folder or possible spam folder. 3. Any e-mail recovered from spam will result in the filter considering future e-mails from the same e-mail address as not spam unless there is a mix of deleted (e.g. advertising messages) and retained purchase or fax messages. Suffice it to say, your filter seems deficient to me in these respects and I hope this will be corrected. Regards, Eugene Mannacio
