Hi,
I realize this list appears to be comatose, but hopefully it's not 
completely unresponsive!

My question is related to mailreaver.crm & mailtrainer.crm, and TOE.  
It's hard to tell from the docs and I'm not fluent enough in CRMese to 
decipher from the code if TOE training is implemented.  Put simply, if I 
tell mailreaver to train using a message it classifies as very spammy, 
what happens?  (mailreaver.crm --spam < spammy.msg).

When I tested this on message getting a score of -127, the score of the 
message didn't change after training and my spam.css feature count was 
unchanged.  That suggests to me that no training took place.  However, 
the "documents learned" counter incremented by one, and a header was 
added saying "LEARNED AND CACHED AS SPAM".  Those imply, at least, that 
it was learned as spam but (perhaps?) that no new tokens were found.  
(but would have been learned, had any existed)  Does this make sense?

Primarily, I'm thinking about this in the context of a spamtrap on my 
server, where all received emails at that address are fed into 
Spamassassin and CRM to be learned as spam without user intervention.  I 
wonder if I need to put a check in before CRM to make sure the message 
isn't ALREADY classified as spam before telling CRM to learn it.

Anyway, I hope people are still using CRM114.  I had great results with 
it back in the 2007-8 or so but stopped using it for reasons I can't 
exactly recall.  Recently I added it back in using the Spamassassin 
plugin and it's working great, with a few minor hiccups.  (lovely 
program but a bit temperamental sometimes!)

Jeff
