Yes. Even trained eyes can make mistakes when sorting spam/innocent.
Anyways, you can fork a random sample of the messages, lets say 1% to a
spam counting mailbox:
#------------------------
# fork a random sample of the messages
#------------------------
random_sample:
driver = redirect
local_part_suffix = +*
local_part_suffix_optional
condition = ${if eq {${eval:($tod_epoch+$pid)%100}}{0} {yes}{no} }
data = random.sample@???
redirect_router = next_router_after_sampler
unseen
no_verify
