h1. Retrain Messages

Sometimes it happens that messages are classified incorrectly by the filtering system.

A *false positive* refers to a message that was incorrectly classified as being Spam.

A *false negative* refers to a message that was incorrectly classified as NOT being Spam.

In other words, *false positive* messages end up in the Spam folder instead of the Inbox, while *false negative* messages end up in the Inbox instead of the Spam folder.

We have several methods to help retrain our system so that it doesn't make the same mistake again:
* In your configured IMAP account or in Webmail, simply drag the message from the Inbox to the Spam folder or vice-versa and keep it there at least overnight
* Retrain using the *Spam Quarantine* feature of the User Control Panel:
* Go to {link-window:https://cp.emailarray.com\|type=normal\|icon=false\|width=1024\|height=600}

[https://cp.emailarray.com]

{link-window}
* Log in using your full e-mail address ( user@domain.com ) and current password.
* Click on the *Spam Quarantine* icon
* Search for the Spam message by selecting the appropriate date, optionally defining a search term and clicking on the *Display* button
* Mark the checkbox next to desired email and click on one following buttons: *deliver and whitelist* the sender, *deliver only* or *delete*
* Forward the offending message to the specific retraining address as  defined by your Administrator. Usually they are of the form:  spam@domain.com & notspam@domain.com
