Search for ".-z" in Help, for me it comes up under the "ICSL Help" section.
So it does, Odd that I can't search for "-z" and find it. The docs say "-z", not ".-z" (could that be the problem?). This would seem to be some sort of a problem, that needs to be investigated. I will create a problem report. It could be the way that it is coded in the help file, or it could be a problem with searching in the help program.

I am now using this functionality and it seems to be picking up the SPAM fairly well!
Many years ago, I learned that BogoFilter is a very good way to filter SPAM. I still use it, but I am pretty sure that my ISP has a pretty good SPAM filter too, so I never see SPAM any more. That concerns me in two ways. One is that I don't know if the ISP is filtering out good messages, and two, I can't test that Bogofilter is still working.
One tip: Try to train equal amounts of good messages, and bad ones. If you get it unbalanced, it doesn't work as well.
