Does it matter if you keep the initial corpora, or just that you train on known corpora,
even if they are "fluid?"
imo, fresh spam is the best spam.
old spam tokens may not work on fresh spam.
ham age is not as critical.
Nowadays, we tend to reejct most good fodder with all kinds of methods
at SMTP level and what's left is often hardly enough to keep a bayes DB
well fed.
A separate trap box/vm with a domain (or more) which takes all it gets
(no rejetcs, no filtering) make a great source of spam fodder.
With a few tricks you can even auto feed bayes to a shared SQL/Redis
backend giving you nice fresh spam tokens with minimal intervention.
