Agreed. However, since July 10, 2003 I've received 473 e-mails classified as spam. I do review them before deleting them, but it's easy to lose one in the manual review effort. When you have an e-mail like mine that has been around on Usenet & the Internet since 1994 every spam list in the world has me on their list. So, reeling this back around to TB!, that is my reason for putting the Known filter first.

I don't mind the leaking per se; it's not understanding the reason for the leak that is keeping me awake nights. :) There are spams that are being correctly identified as spam by POPFile, but TB!'s Known filter is putting them in my Known folder. If I knew what the logic/algorithm for the Known filter, I'd be better able to debug the issue. -- Dave Kennedy ________________________________________________ Current version is 1.62r | "Using TBUDL" information: http://www.silverstones.com/thebat/TBUDLInfo.html
