Logging scores of non-spam (patch)

[John Ireland]

I am interested in the "Log Non Spam" option.  FWIW I patch SA.pm to include the
SpamAssassin 'autolearn=' field in the SpamCheck header so I can check the
Bayesian auto learning - the header changes from,

    X-MailScanner-SpamCheck: spam, SpamAssassin (score=37.097,
        required 4, BAYES_99 5.40, BIZ_TLD 0.10,
        DATE_IN_FUTURE_12_24 3.33, DCC_CHECK 2.70, FORGED_OUTLOOK_TAGS ...
to,

    X-MailScanner-SpamCheck: spam, SpamAssassin (score=37.097,
        required 4, autolearn=spam, BAYES_99 5.40, BIZ_TLD 0.10,
        DATE_IN_FUTURE_12_24 3.33, DCC_CHECK 2.70, FORGED_OUTLOOK_TAGS ...

Would this be of general interest?

I do this now, without a config option, with the following changes to MailScanner-4.25-14,
