 ==SPAM==
-The antispam system on Siranna has support for a Bayesian statistical classifier. This classifier needs to be trained to identify SPAM and HAM (valid non-spam email). By default the system will try to learn what your SPAM & HAM look like based on the normal SPAM rules that are installed. This auto learning will only occur on new mail and will take take forever to learn well enough to be useful.

-If you have saved lots of messages (both HAM & SPAM) in separated folders, Nybble has written a script that will make use of your piles of crap that you have kept. It is important that you train it on HAM and not just SPAM. In fact, it is recommended that you use at least as much HAM as SPAM to keep the classifier from flagging too much of your real email as SPAM.
+If the SPAM system misclassifies your email, just drag it into your Junk/Spam folder to relearn it as SPAM; or drag it out of your Junk/Spam folder to relearn it as HAM.

Additional filters can be added here as well. The filter matching program starts at the top and works its way down. It only applies the first rule that it finds. I would recommend not using the Whitelist Filter provided by Horde because any address placed in it will not go through any of your filters.
