[spambayes-dev] 2 Types of Spam

[Scott Rippee]

The kind of mail that you are talking about it usually easy enough to filter with normal filtering rules (ie. keyword matches).  It would however be easy enough to do what you are talking about (at least in Linux using my technique: procmail, sb_filter.py, sp_mboxtrain.py).  

You could have two spam databases.  The first one would be for your normal spam and the second for the other emails.  When you check spam with your procmail rules you would run it through the first filter and then run it through the second filter for the sb_filter classification.  Then you would move your special spam into its own location and add a additional scheduled training for the second database with the spam you want to check on occasions.
