Hmmmph.  Dunno what happened there.  the last half of my message got 
lost!  Especially the

part.

Basically said I see nothing pertinent in the log, just a lot of 
'placing' & 'Flushing', with some 'adding' & 'storing'.

However, since I sent it, I realised that all the messages that snuck in 
under the radar were 1. spam and 2. just headers, no content, no subject.

Is it possible that because they are so short they are being handed off 
so quickly that SpamBayes just sees them as part of the previuos 
message, that it is still processing?

Hmmm.  Next time this happens I'll have to remember to check the times 
and see which email came in just ahead of the 'sneaky' one, and which 
came in just after.  I wonder if the low-flyer's headers Have been 
processed by SB, but as part of the preceeding email's headers??
