Answering the direct questions first: Yes, that is correct syntax. No, you don't need them (commented out), they are default. An auto-learning setup generally isn't a bad idea, and actually default. Depending on your amount of messages, you might want to have a look at the recent train-on-error option. If (since) there was any need to wipe your old Bayes DB and start fresh, I seriously recommend continued manual training. And in any case, always (manually) training spam with low-ish Bayes probability. Likewise for ham that doesn't already have a very low Bayes probability. In non-high-volume environments, there's hardly any down-side on training the extremes, too. Learning hand-confirmed non-extremes is always worth it.
