No, it's hard-coded. This is entirely on-purpose, to prevent someone from
screwing themselves over by making the autolearner to aggressive.

The hard-coding is in AutoLearnThreshold.pm.
---------
  if ($isspam) {
    my $required_body_points = 3;
    my $required_head_points = 3;
---------

If you need to pick up header points, usually the conventional RBL tests do a
good job. However, since you're using SURBLs I'm assuming you're using those
too. You really should be seeing at least some autolearning.

Any chance ALL_TRUSTED is misfiring and dragging down the header score?
