Do a bit of research before you put in comments about what you really have 
no knowledge of ... specifically, do some research into exactly *what* 
Maia is ... what should be quite embarressing to you is just how fast you 
jump onto things you really know nothing about ...

I can subscribe to Greg's assertion that I'm missing something with the 
spamassassin setup, and will very happily work with him to see if we can 
tight it up further ... but *all* maia is is a front end to spamassassin, 
any spam scoring is done by Spamassassin itself ... Maia then takes that 
score and *quarantines* messages that score over a certain threshold, but 
Maia in no way manipulates that score ...

In fact, even the 'training' you elude to is a simple call to 'sa-learn', 
Maia just provides me the interface to go *through* emails vs reading them 
out of a mailbox ...

But, of course, if you did some research *first*, instead of running off 
at the mouth, you would have figured this out already on your own ...

Almost as bad erading yoru stuff as reading stuff from AlDev ... abotu as 
informed ...
