    Manuel> So, you say that i should discard any of these messages manually
    Manuel> everytime?

No, place a filter in your mail user agent's filter configuration that saves
these messages off to a mailbox before SpamBayes sees them.

Example: I use procmail to filter my email.  On my server I generate up to
500 email-based reports each night.  I know they are okay, so I have a
recipe that saves them off to a file before the recipe that runs SpamBayes:

    SCORE="sb_bnfilter.py -a 30 -A 250"

    ...

    # since I'm filtering on a highly specific subject it's unlikely I will
    # get any spam in this mailbox
