Not really, when you consider the volume of spam you receive far exceed
the volumne of ham you

I was thinking to increase bayes_auto_learn_threshold_spam to a higher
number, so less spam is auto-learned. Is this ok?
I try to keep it a 10 to 1 ratio (dropping the _ham threshold and
increasing the _spam threshold), basically, trying to mimic the global
stats o

do they? What is meant is that once you reach some threshold the detection

Not surprising, as raw email traffic has a very skewed spam:ham ratio.
Surely you've heard the stats
Hi,
I recently upgraded to 3.2.5 and re-trained bayes db from scratch. The
auto-learn is on so now I have about 6000 mails trained as spam and 3000
as ham. I tried to manually keep both spam and ham at the same level in
the bayes db but it seems that spamassassin is learning spam twice as
fast
