Sure it does.  That is the beauty of bayes.

But not cross-correlated to the SPF result words.  You could fix this by
combining them into one word, or by putting them adjacent if your tokenize
stems adjacent words.

It does adjacent pairs.  domains are adjacent to words unique to SPF
result in Received-SPF headers.

For instance, a token pair (before CRC) could be:

"Received-SPF:spammer.com+designates" for a "pass" result
and there would also be "Received-SPF:pass" as a single token (plus
lots more).

The stats are there - all automatic.
