My site is 4 users, 2 of which use it every day, 2 of which don't and
don't get more than 1 email a week anyway, internally ;)

At least 2 of us will be retraining it. I do it habitually.

Well.. I don't care that some spam slip through. I know that all the
spam it DOES catch is legitimate spam, and I just want to force it
to never get to the inbox. The spam/ham ratio is low anyway, and
the caught/escaped spam ratio is some 25:1 - 25 less emails in my
inbox is good in my eyes.
