One of the problems I faced while putting this in place for multiple domains is the issue of all the non-existent emails addresses that were getting SPAM.  I talked to a MS SQL expert and designed a trigger that does the following.

When the SpamFilter software creates an entry in the database, the trigger fires (on any insert) and queries the Login table.  If the incoming email is not in the Login table (which means they are checking the quarantine) the record is updated as if the user looked at the piece of mail through the web interface and deleted it.  The next purge that SpamFilter runs clears the entry from the database.

This keeps me from having a huge database of emails that are held (in my case 10 days) for email addresses that do not exist.

I would be interested in thoughts on how this affects the Bayesian Analysis.

Please let me know if you are interested in this Code.

That's one we're "envious" we did not think about ourselves! 

Excellent idea!

There won't be any effect on the Bayesian filter, as the database is not used by the process that "learns" new incoming emails.
