There's only so much just the plain old spam and notspam folders can do.
You need to start fine tuning it by forwarding emails to the email
interface.  For example, you get an email in your inbox that should be
spam, but it's in your inbox.  Now forward that email to
asspspam@yourspamdomain(whatever it is).com.  That email will now be put
in the errors/spam folder now.  ASSP will take that into consideration
by adding extra weight to the word pairs contained in the files there.
After the next database rebuild, ASSP will know not to allow it through
again (a simplified explanation).  The same applies to emails that are
recognized as spam, but are not.  They will go into the errors/notspam
folder.  The same thing happens to these files except the reverse (assp
knows the word pairs are good, thus allowing them through next time).

Hope that explains it a little bit!
