I use mailwatch too but I dont have the time or resources to spend on
checking spam/notspam accuracy and feeding the inaccuracies back to the
bayes...

I can ask my users to "forward as attachment" the mails that get marked
wrong but even if I could trust them to do this right I'd still have to
process the mails before "learning" from them. (admittedly, if I could
guarantee that every user followed the instructions correctly, some of
the work could be automated, but...)

The only learning material that I can trust 100% is my own FPs and FNs
but then I have to strip out the attachments on the FPs and strip out
the MS headers from the FNs before I can use them (as I understand it).
