I also discovered today that the proxied messages are being stored in 
the directory:

C:\Documents and Settings\NetworkService\Application 
Data\SpamBayes\Proxy\pop3proxy-spam-cache

I found these when AVG performed its scan of the system and found quite 
a few trojans hiding in this directory.  So it would appear as though 
the training begins to occur with messages being cached, but the 
database isn't being written to perhaps?

Can anyone shed light on this situation?

Thanks for any assistance.
