Yep, I thought that's what he wanted with a directory name like
"SPAMDIR" -- I took it to mean that these emails should be labeled as
spam and aren't.

Really?  So you should only register an email one time, and if it

Its been my experience that registering a misclassified email over and
over until it scores correctly has helped out my classifications.
