[Spambayes] Question about the SB proxy

[Katz, Amir]

Thanks for the answer. I guess that what I need to do is to change the
configuration and tag the 'unsure' mails in a similar manner (e.g. add
'unsure' to the To: list) and then add another rule to move them to a
folder, similar to what I already do with the spam (with awesome success, I
must say)

Thanks,
Amir

If this is your setup than yes this is true but in the configuration 
page Section Header Options
the Notate to:
ham
spam
unsure
The 3 options can be selected

Yes

The proxy examine the email and find that is an unsure but don't do 
anything with it since this is what you have tell
the proxy to do (or not do ????). so you see it as unmodified email
See section 3 above.
The unsure in the Notate to: should be check also.
