Hello, you want some unsolicited advice?
Considering that your spam filter will always encounter all incoming mail
you could perhaps build in the training to your filter. I imagine a
scenario like this.
I get some spam your filter did not catch. I then forward that email to ..
a) Myself (more on this)
b) DetectedSpam@mydomain.com
If I forward the email to myself I add something to the first line like
--HeySpamBayesThisIsSpam--
If your filter catches this on the first line of an email it then learns
from it.
Similar things can be done with ham.
This way you can even start with a completely blank database and then train
your filter perfectly.
The beauty is that you don't need some special mail client and it makes no
difference whether spambayes is running as a proxy or through procmail.
