Bayes autolearning works fine in my system, and MailScanner even reports it in
the spamcheck headers:

X-EVI-MailScanner-SpamCheck: spam, SpamAssassin (score=44.262, required 5,
	autolearn=spam, BAYES_99 3.50, DATE_IN_FUTURE_12_24 2.77,
	<snip, massive list of hits>

MailScanner 4.50.15, SpamAssassin 3.1.0.
