[Spambayes] SpamBayes vs. Outlook Mailbox Rules

[Dejonghe, Manuel]

Good afternoon.
After having used SpamBayes as Outlook-Plugin for almost half a year
(and yeah: It rocks ;-) I registered with some high-traffic mailing
lists. Due to the high traffic, I wanted to move these mails to another
folder within my Inbox.
The rule for the routing is indeed not the problem.
Unfortunately, many of these mails by these lists LOOK LIKE spam for sb,
but they're not.
I do not accuse spambayes to be too dumb to distinguish real spam and
mailinglists. It is certainly an question of training and ... endurance.
It's rather the fact SpamBayes filters earlier than outlook is able to
move the files away from the Inbox.

If Outlook was able to handle more complicated rules (with negations for
example) I would create a Inboxfolder for temporary stuff, moving it to
the Inbox that SpamBayes watches by a rule like the following: "If the
mail is not one of that mailing list, then move to Inbox". The rule "If
the mail is one of that hughe list, move it to the ListContainer". I am
aware of the fact that spam sent by this mailinglist would not be
filtered anymore.

Another possibility would be to extend these rules to look at OTHER
Folders than the Inbox one like the "Spam" and the "Possible Spam" one.
Unfortunately, once more, Outlook is ... let's say simple-minded.

Is there a way to delay the sb-filter-process ? Is this what the
"Background Scanning" in the "Advanced" tab means ? I wasn't able to
find anything about that feature.
