User-Agent:       Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.1; en-US; rv:1.9.0.11) Gecko/2009060215 Firefox/3.0.11
Build Identifier: 

The scam notifier message only identifies REGULAR (I mean at least once a week) messages all from known senders, such as weekly news bulletins from Science magazine, and messages from the company I represent. It is totally useless in identifying ANY scam, it has never picked up scam. AND it does not learn, I would think that once I clicked on the NOT SPAM button it would put that address on a list and stop sending me those useless messages. I turned the notifier off, because it is useless junk.

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1.cant do, it happened on messages I receive, I cant send messages from th senders.
2.
3.
Actual Results:  
Say, what is this? This doesnt apply to my inquiry at all.
Let me know when you make the scam detector usefull.
The scam detector has nothing to do with the junk filter (for spam). Unlike tha last one, it can't be trained. It only detects suspicious links in email messages, like links that point to a numerical address out of your network. See bug 318916.
