bayes DB not growing

[Billy A. Pumphrey]

Hhmm...I am a newbie so I don't know why that is.  

I did go and check some non spam messages and here is an example:
spam autolearn=not   
-2.60 BAYES_00 Bayesian spam probability is 0 to 1% 
0.70 DATE_IN_PAST_12_24 Date: is 12 to 24 hours before Received: date 
0.00 HTML_MESSAGE HTML included in message

So I getting at least one autolearn=not.  So looks like my autolearn
reporting is working OK.

BTW: How do you feed spamassassin ham and spam?
