Has anyone figured out how to "un-train" a spam filter when it becomes
too strict? Mine now catches all email from a certain project, despite
the fact that the sender is in the address book and junk mail controls
are set to exclude any email from senders that are.

I gave up on useless filters so now pay a small amount each month for
spam filtering at my ISP. Have not seen a single item of spam in 15
months.
So perfect, I'm now suspecting that each email is manually read before
forwarding!.


I'll look into that but could only do it if they send the spam marked for an automatic path to the waste basket. I need to be able to look because there will be the occasional miscatch.
