Actually RTFM I noticed the bayes_ignore_header option:
bayes_ignore_header header_name
If you receive mail filtered by upstream mail systems, like a spam-
filtering ISP or mailing list, and that service adds new headers
(as most of them do), these headers may provide inappropriate cues
to the Bayesian classifier, allowing it to take a "short cut". To
avoid this, list the headers using this setting. Example:
bayes_ignore_header X-Upstream-Spamfilter
bayes_ignore_header X-Upstream-SomethingElse
Which prompted me to wonder about,
bayes_ignore_header X-SA-Exim-Connect-IP
bayes_ignore_header X-SA-Exim-Mail-From
bayes_ignore_header X-SA-Exim-Rcpt-To
bayes_ignore_header X-SA-Exim-Scanned
bayes_ignore_header X-SA-Exim-Version
I can't decide whether this is worthwhile or not; there might actually
be bayes-classifiably useful info in there. Any thoughts?
HTH,
Paul
