You make a very good point. In the past couple of weeks of running 
CRM114 on our production systems, we've found it to be surprisingly 
accurate--less at first, far more now.

We've been doing daily training, using my modified version of Matt 
Hampton's perl script available here:
http://www.fractalweb.com/scripts/crm_train2.zip

"False positives", according to the script are checked (there are only 
perhaps a dozen each day) and then we manually decide whether they're 
really spam and train accordingly.

Have a good one!
