Bayes will not be used until it has learned 200 spam and 200 ham messages. If you are below that threshold it does not use bayes to compute the score. Also it will not autolearn spam unless the score is over a certain threshold for both header and message rules ( I think the default is 10). You can use sa-learn --dump to get the stats on how many spam and ham have been learned. The default rules that come with spamassassin are fairly good. However you may want to check out the rulesemporium for additional rule sets that can help boost the score on spam which makes it easier to separate spam from ham. -- Scot L.
