Spambayes does not do anything in the way of automatic discarding of 
messages.  All mail that is sent to you will appear in your inbox.  It 
will simply be classified so you can then chose to process it as you 
wish.  In opera, you can easily create a spam view, filtered on any header 
containing X-Spambayes-Classification: spam.  Then spam will appear in 
that folder, and you can review for any misclassifications.  It is the 
possibility of misclassification that prevents us from automatically 
destroying any of your mail.  The training might just be so good that it 
recognizes the mail telling you about your increase in pay, pending your 
acknowledgement of receipt of the email, as an increase in something else, 
and classify it as spam.  If we were to automatically destroy it, you'd 
never get the mail, and you'd certainly eventually really hate spambayes 
for it...

  Or is it impossible? By the way, SpamBayes have been
