Yes and no. If they send via MAPI then they missout on the

hmm. This made me realize that our webmail users will have the same
problem. Outgoing email will never pass through ASSP. Let's assume
that all outgoing email will NOT pass through ASSP. How does this
change it's effectiveness? Is it a bad idea to do this?
Not sure that webmail has to bypass assp but anyway.....
The bayesian side of assp just like any bayesian system (Spamassassin
etc) needs to be fed. If not via mail passing through assp then you
need to get samples into spam and nospam to create good stats. Of
course there is plenty of other antispam things in assp over and
above bayesian stats.
By bypassing assp always, your clients end up not being able to use
the email interface and you have to copy data every now and again if
you want to maintain bayesian stats. Of course you could create a
specail domain for your users to send to and you could
client -> exchange -> 25 -> assp
or something equivalent.
