you will need 200 spam and 200 ham in the default configuration. > > My question is: Is there anything wrong with doing this? I've seen some > posts about ratio's.

You should feed all ham and spam. with auto-learn you risk to train a false positive as spam and a false negative as ham. This will spiol your database. To my expirience the default scores are good enough. I can only encourage you to use bayes. After a little training it is very good with "old" spam and not bad with new "spam".
