My guess - if you examine the headers of your spam messages you will see that some message are 'autolearned'. Message that generate a high enough 'spam value' get internally fed to 'sa-learn' and are marked with 'autolearn=spam' in the X-Spam-Status header. Once a message has been trained via sa-learn it will not be 'learned from' again. To test this:
1)Submit a new spam/ham message to sa-learn and it will report Learned from 1 message(s) (1 message(s) examined) 2) Resubmit the same thing and you will get Learned from 0 message(s) (1 message(s) examined) This is my understanding - hope it is correct and that it helps. Summary: there are 2 ways a message will by 'examined' by sa-learn but not 'learned from'. a) if it was autolearned b) if it was trained previously On Mon, 10 Nov 2003 12:58:55 -0800, "Scott Renda" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: >We have been using Spamassassin 2.60 since it came out.
