{Spam?} Re: [ale] {Spam?} spam flood

[Dow Hurst]

Now that the problem has been solved, I have a question about Mozilla:

Can you overtrain a spamblocker easily?  I had to take a bunch of mail in the 
Junk folder, deselect it as Junk, and transfer it back to the Inbox over the 
weekend.  Seemed all the random words in spam now and possible other spammer 
tricks have confused the spam routines in Mozilla.
