Trouble getting bayes DB to be recognized/work

[Martin Hepworth]

Jason

the bayes DB file be created once it's seen the first email that
triggers learning (auto or manual). The Bayes engine won't kick in till
its seen at least 200 each of spam and ham, so if you can get 200
examples of each and manually train it to give it a good kick start.
