Hehehe, who can argue with that?   Any chance of a change?

Fair point.  I haven't paid a lot of attention to the SA stuff, probably
time I did.

Suggestions, give MS the ability to clean up the quarantine dirs after x
days.

Have 3 thresholds to mark as spam, store or delete, can't think of any
other options that would be useful.

While tuning the system, I don't want to delete stuff in case it is valid
mail, but having to wade through hundreds of obvious spams each day just to
fine the couple of valid ones is a pain.

Apart from that, this is a really excellent tool.
