I'm using sb_filter.py to score messages.
For training, I use
sb_mboxtrain.py -n -r -d $HOME/.hammiedb -g
$HOME/Maildir/.ztrain.confirmed-ham -s
$HOME/Maildir/.ztrain.confirmed-spam

OK.

So far I have not yet made a mistake, because when I move mail to a
traing folder, it only gets trained on the next daily cron run. That
means I have enough time to move misclassified mail.

OK. How does that work? With sb_mboxtrain.py I just "drag & forget". Can
I do the same with contrib/tte.py? Can I use it as a drop-in replacement
and let a cron job run on it every night?

OK, I'm already doing that.
