Not that I am aware of. As far as I know it needs time to "learn" what's spam
and what isn't. It has successfully identified one email as spam (woohoo!) and
seems to automatically reject some emails (the erm... adult pills ones) that are
cross-posting.
While the amount of spam seems to have gone down the amount of Japanese spam has
gone up - hence the reason for all these emails with nonsensical characters in
them. If viewed on a Japanese compatible browser they might make sense, but are
generally useless to us.
