Have you played with the "spamassassin --report" feature?  Works fairly well if
you can integrate it into your e-mail client and report a bunch of
messages as spam.  It trains the Bayes filter and reports to Razor (at
the least).

Sylpheed Claws has actions (you use "spamassassin--report %F" as the action),
and it'll batch the report on all selected messages.

I find that after a 10-20 messages, it starts finding the ones that were
slipping through.  Since February, I have 200 missed out of 4200.

Cheers,
Rob
