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 ...
