Also, I'd strongly recommend training SA's Bayesian analysis, using

it has learnt 200 good ("ham") e-mails and 200 spams.
Isn't that supposed to be the point of the junk/not-junk buttons on mail
clients?
In general those are put there by spammers who are hopping you'll push
the wrong button. {O,o}
Actually what it does and how it works with YOUR usage probably depend
on your "global" versus "per user" Bayes files, scores, and rules.
Bayesian analysis continues to be a *very* good way of analysing
e-mail, in my experience.
Back when I was still using Windows, I used to use the in-built one that
came with The Bat! mail client. It seemed to do a reasonable job, and
it was damn quick (unlike the speed of any kind of mail filtering in
Evolution). Though, before that, I'd knocked most spam off, without any
false positives, with about 12 mail rules.
Quick - maybe. But Bayesian analysis without rules is like a bicycle with
only one pedal.
