Fedora Users — Re: Thunderbird scam warnings

I'm pretty sure he's talking about Thunderbird's 'E-Mail Scam' detection, not junk mail detection. While TB's junk email detection offers a whitelist(just add to your address-book and enable), and fairly good bayesian learning, it appears scam detection does not. From what I've seen it goes on a few rules such as having IPs in the email, or misleading hyperlinks. It's also fairly overzealous at what it does. Like Langdon said, if it really annoys you, It's probably best just to disable it.

I've noticed TB pick up "spam" when a person posts 3 or 4 times to the
list in succession, it will learn eventually though, don't worry!
