I have found that in the last few months a lot of mail has been coming through. I believe that the bayes filter isn't working. None of the caught messages include a bayes score.

I have dutifully put all of my uncaught spam into a folder for the purposes of learning, and run sa-learn from time to time. Below is some information which may be relevant:

I am running spamassassin through procmail
SpamAssassin version 3.2.4
spamassassin -D bayes< ... indicates a bayes score
local.cf:
    use_bayes               1
    bayes_auto_learn              1

    bayes_path /etc/mail/spamassassin/bayes
    bayes_file_mode 0770
sa-learn --dump magic

    0.000          0      77173          0  non-token data: last expire reduction count

I have recently (a few months ago ...) cleared out the contents of the uncaught spam folders, reasoning that sa should have learned what it needs already. However, these folders now have hundreds of new spam to learn from.

Any ideas?
