    Okay, so far so good on all replies.  Now, next question, again, 
based on the two above commands:

    Most, if not all, of my users keep e-mail in separate folders, where 
one of them is their spam/junk folder (assuming they collect them) and 
others for various types of e-mail.  Myself, for example, have over 24 
separate folder every month that I file e-mail under.  And every month, 
I archive them, and start fresh again (so I end up with 
MIMEDefang-Jan04, MIMEDefang-Feb04, etc., etc.)

    Should I run sa-learn on all of these folders and teach it what's 
good, and also on all the spam/junk folders collected?

    I realize the more I feed it, the more accurate it can detect spam, 
but at what point is it just too much?
