I haven't tried this but it ought to work just fine.  Just classify  
your interesting emails as "good" and the others as "spam".  Let us  
know how it works out.

Just the database.  Each database has its own lock file.  To do this  
you'd need to make a second database in its own directory (maybe  
~/.spamprobe2) and pass that directory to SP with the -d option (i.e.  
spamprobe -d ~/.spamprobe2 train) when you invoke it on the second  
email.
