Interesting. I set up spamprobe four or five years ago,
using BDB, arranging things so that it put detected spam 
in the spam mailbox, cleaned up sp_words once a week or
so, and dealt daily with anything I had filed as false 
positive (once in a blue moon) or false negative (one
a day, maybe). I don't remember how to set it up - high
praise for a piece of software :-)

This is under Mac OSX, various versions, but so far as
spamprobe is concerned, that's just a Unix flavour. It might
be interesting for someone to figure out why spamprobe + BDB
works fine in some environments and not others, but probably
not interesting enough for someone actually to do it.
