Reproducible: Always I've done a search through bugzilla, using keyword scam, and nothing was found. It could be great to add this feature - if you find it interesting - in thunderbird in the post 1.5 release.

Noooo! Don't do it. All kinds of emails are marked as scams (that are not scams). The "scam detection engine" is simply not good enough to move email out of the Inbox using its judgement.
My bug is an ENHANCEMENT one. It could closed as invalid. But, scam engine is far from being wrong in my case, using homemade trunk builds only. The only person who can decide to add it or not is Scott MacGregor. He will decide or not to add it, so stop whining ;)
