[Spambayes] How to not filter selected messages

[Paul Schauble]

Perhaps it would work. My problem is that Spambayes doesn't filter on
phrases, but on the individual words. I probably need to change my phrase to
use a couple of unusual words. There's a tradeoff, though. If the words get
unusual the people who send me mail will get it wrong.

I have an Outlook rule that filters messages with a "secret" phrase in the

I understand that Spambayes filters messages before the Outlook rules
operate. Is this correct? If so, how can I make this exception?

I suspect that they are going to tell you that you cannot make it happen. 

But, the real question is, why would you want (or need) to make it happen??
SpamBayes can filter based on the subject line (although, I think you have
to ask it to mine the headers), in which case (with a little training)
anything with those words in the subject will always be scored as ham.
(Which is the same result as making them immune to filtering.... :-)
