    jpc1729 - 2004-06-06

    I'm using spamprobe on Solaris with the default settings.  It works well: no false positives and about 3% false negatives.  However at least ten percent of spam that is
    From:    "Sapphirex Advanced"  or
    From:    "Sapphirex Expeditors" is getting through.  I retrained spamprobe on several dozen of these spam messages, but when I then do a spamprobe dump, the string Sapp does not appear anywhere in the dump.  Am I doing something wrong?

      I see now that
         sapphirex
         sapphirex advanced
         sapphirex expeditors
      all appear in the dump, in lower case, and all with high spam ratings. 

      I am still mystified as to how so many spam messages from this source could get through.  I'll post this question to the e-mail group.
