The problem is that the documentation suggests that you enable the two options,
and sit back and watch the database being built as e-mail comes in.

The reality is that the two options enable the use of the bayesian filter, but
the database remains empty until you have trained it on a suitably large dataset
of spam and "ham".

Does anyone have a way of using Mimedefang to automatically build the database,
even if that means forwarding a copy of every message to either a spam or ham
mailbox, and then processing and deleting the mailbox daily?

Best Wishes,

Paul.
