Another good explanation, guenther.  I always wondered what engine evo
used for its spam filter.  That amount of training would explain why I
see the same HAM marked as spam again and again.  I'm thinking, why is
evo just not getting it that this sender is good?  Now, I have some
insight that it doesn't just store any given address as "not junk" it
filters with more complexity than that.  

So, that raises the question: How can I create a "whitelist" of senders
so not to wait a long time for the bayesian filtering to kick in?
