Summary: Additional post-filtering options

Initial Comment:
1.  Option to "Permanently Delete" certain spam rather 
than just moving it.

2.  Better than that, the option to do anything with a 
post-filtered message that I can do with an Outlook rule 
filtered message (forward, flag, etc.)

3.  User configurable number of filtering levels - i.e., 
more than two.

4.  A way to view/modify/tweak the database directly 
(maybe this already exists and I don't know it?)

#1 - That had already been suggested by Mr. Meyer when I 
posted to the SpamBayes list (he also suggested that I [re]
post it here)

#2 - Header or subject line modification would work for this (I 
have used that technique successfully with the K9 filter 
(http://kier.net) and Outlook's rules.  Unfortunately K9 does 
not support Outlook/Exchange directly (only through POP3), 
which is why I now use SpamBayes since I needed support for 
multiple simultaneous Exchange and POP3 mailboxes.

#3 - What I mean is more spam score filters.  Since it is 
CRITICAL for me to NEVER lose a "ham" message, I would like 
to have at least three levels of filtering.  For example:

  70% - 100% Immediate Delete (via SpamBayes
  as in #2 or using the AutoArchive method in #1)

  30% - 69% Move to Spam folder with autodelete
  after 3 days

  10%-29% Move to Suspect folder for manual review

I have had such great success in less than a month of using 
SpamBayes (over 99.9%) that I am actually considering how I 
can "trust" it to autodelete.  I have tried many alternatives 
including commercial products and none (with the exception 
of K9, noted above) has come close to SpamBayes.

#4 - Agreed.

For #1, you can right click the spam folder and set the auto 
archive options to delete messages in that folder after a 
certain time (1 day is smallest amount) or move them to 
another pst file for retraining.

For #2, convince a developer that it is useful. I would think 
either header or subject line modication would be easier and 
then build your rules using outlook.

For #3, Do you mean more than filtering on different ranges 
of the the spam score or trying to do spam/ham and 
work/personal  (etc.) type of thing?

For #4, Looking at the spam clues for a message is filtered 
snapshot of the db. I think viewing would kinda neat, but 
modify/tweak could have some bad results.
