I've got the same thing running here. The only thing I've noticed is
that (since the update to .11.1 and .12.2) I'm getting a few more false
negatives every week. I think I may have to retrain the good/bad
wordlists with the new version.

Nope, easy as pie. Need to figure out how to setup 3 state filtering,
though: SPAM, UNSURE, and NOT SPAM would be better, then I could just
train on the UNSURE and completely misfiled.
Have you tried anything with the 3 states instead of two yet?
