+ Why don't you add whitelisting/blacklisting to SpamBayes?
+ ---------------------------------------------------------
+
+ The main reason is that for the most part SpamBayes doesn't need it! As
+ long as you keep training on unsure or mis-classified mail, SpamBayes will
+ learn what you consider good mail without needing any specific lists. In
+ addition, tokens are generated from email addresses, so an automatic
+ 'whitelist' (of sorts) is generated, as is a similar blacklist.
+
+ These sorts of lists are problematic, because 'spoofing' (pretending you
+ are someone else) is reasonably simple, and also fairly common. So, more
+ often than not, they'll lead to incorrect results. However, there are some
+ commercial products based on SpamBayes that offer whitelisting - see the
+ `related page`_ for more information.
+
+ .. _related page: related.html

What do I need to do to update the FAQ?

for Outlook. SpamAtBay development is headed by Sean True, who wrote the first \
integration of Outlook and SpamBayes (later this was improved on - basically \
