First of all, thank you for your reply.
I think there is some kind of problem with spambayes caching and
classification. When I compose email which includes spam words to my account
and load them into the local pop3 proxy, spambayes classifies it as spam and
attaches appropriate X-Spambayes-Classification header. However, as I
examine the cache folders, the email is put in the unknown cache folder not
in the spam cache folder. Hence, the error messgae "Could not extract id" as
I forward the email to spambayes_ham at localhost.
Shouldn't it be corrected?
