no training is always good

Are you missing a comma? Do you mean "no, training is always good" or
"no training is always good"?

no just my bolsk algebra and english is bad :)

what score are you learning on ?, default is -0.1 and 12.0, i have
changed them here to -4 and 14

Can't find any settings to that effect, so I guess I am using
defaults. I have entered your settings in my config now.

perldoc Mail::SpamAssassin::Plugin::AutoLearnThreshold


Looking at

http://spamassassin.apache.org/full/3.3.x/doc/Mail_SpamAssassin_Conf.html#learning_options
i see an option called "bayes_use_hapaxes" that promises
significantly better hit-rates, but also increases database size by a
factor of 8 to 10. What is the recommendation on this?

dont known for sure what is best there, using default here

perldoc Mail::SpamAssassin::Plugin::Bayes
perldoc Mail::SpamAssassin::Conf

for 3.3.1 and above i add in local.cf

bayes_auto_learn_on_error 1

reduce poising bayes and load

If throughput
is a factor in this decision, we are scanning about 60,000 to 90,000
mails a day.

more then my server handle now


what plugins have you enabled ?

DCC
pyzor/razor
SpamCop
AutoLearnThreshold
TextCat
MIMEHeader
ReplaceTags
DKIM
Check
HTTPSMismatch
URIDetail
Bayes
All the EvalTest plugins
VBounce
ImageInfo
FreeMail

3dr party rules or just default sa 3.3.2 ?

Default and Sought Rules.

should be safe enough to not give any problem to bayes

tip if you like to restart learning bayes on can do this like here:

sa-learn --dump magic

bayes_min_ham_num (Default: 200)
bayes_min_spam_num (Default: 200)

and adjust this with 200 more then listed in dump magic, this ensure that bayes go back in learning mode
