Yes, but ...
1) your database(s) just keep growing
2) you're fuzzying the line a lot:
our well tuned spamassassin scores most stuff _very_ close
to the "non-spam" score: a difference of .1/5 (2%) in the score
means about another 20-30 spams getting through.
So, as you "pollute" your filter, you increase the likelihood
of false positives/negatives.
Dave.
