Reindl: Thanks. I want to use some auto-training with very conservative thresholds set. All of the messages I've checked would have classified correctly via autolearn comfortably in those ranges. The 200 threshold is for USING the bayes, but not a auto-learning requirement. Or that was my clear understanding from many posts. I saw several old threads where others suggested similar but were corrected. Maybe they changed it, dunno. My concern is that auto-learn is not functioning properly. I use Amavisd that calls spamassassin and has it's own issues. Trying to make sure my system is operating properly. It appears it is not to me. No hint should be necessary for it to learn a spam. Only to use bayes to score anything. I get that. No?
