Yeah that could work to help classify stuff. Edge case spam. spam that
is almost not spam, that gets through might get through for a few
messages before you catch them. But really if you have a small amount
of spam anyways this wouldn't be a real concern, as long as you caught
it in a relatively quick time frame.

Might in the long term cause a slight slow down in
classification time, since the amount of ham words and spam words will
get really large corresponding to emails you get.
