bayes DB not growing

[Arif Malik]

Hmm - what I am seeing in my logs, is EVERY message shows
"autolearn=spam" - even though my bayes DB isn't growing... even
messages that aren't tagged as spam are showing it - for example:

May 15 07:05:42 filter MailScanner[11331]: Message 1DXJk9-00083F-Tv from
209.0.2
4.12 (bounce-flnl-45112503 at mx01.gamerival.com) to adggdwe.com is not
spam, SpamA
ssassin (score=2.733, required 4, autolearn=spam, AWL 1.02, HTML_90_100
0.19, HT
ML_FONT_BIG 0.23, HTML_MESSAGE 0.00, MIME_HEADER_CTYPE_ONLY 0.48,
NO_REAL_NAME 0
.18, URIBL_SBL 0.63)

shouldn't only messages that are considered spam be showing the
"autolearn=spam" ??? I still don't know why the bayes DB only has 1 spam
in it still, but I will try using sa-learn to feed it 200 spams and hams
and see what happens... but I am still wondering about the autolearn
behavior, if anyone has any insight.. thanks!

That is a good link.  On my mailwatch, I look at the spam messages and I
do see this a lot:
Autolearn=spam

I also see that some messages do not have a autolearn= I am guessing
that it was not autolearned because from the link, it said that a
message needs 3 points from the header and 3 points from the body to be
autolearned.

When I do a spamassassin -D --lint.  I get:
debug: bayes: found bayes db version 3
debug: using "/root/.spamassassin" for user state dir
debug: bayes: Not available for scanning, only 0 spam(s) in Bayes DB <
200

So mine says that there are only 0 spams.  Does this mean that I need to
fix something?
