Thanks for the reply,

I have since populated the bayes DB (via sa-learn backup/restore) from one of the functioning mail servers.  A lint check now shows this:
---
[19182] dbg: bayes: DB journal sync: last sync: 1156345626
[19182] dbg: bayes: corpus size: nspam = 5507601, nham = 1761804
---

As before, my learning threshold config line is:
---
bayes_auto_learn_threshold_spam         12
---

Take, for example, the following mail which passed through a few moments ago:
---
Aug 23 15:14:05 yosemite MailScanner[18668]: Message 593C069B0A.6BE83 from 222.35.236.81 (offjskcjacpiz at yahoo.co.kr) to ubisoft.com is spam, SpamAssassin (score=31.401, required 6, DATE_IN_FUTURE_96_XX 1.89, DATE_SPAMWARE_Y2K 1.82, FORGED_IMS_HTML 2.27, FORGED_IMS_TAGS 2.12, FORGED_MUA_IMS 1.20, FROM_ILLEGAL_CHARS 3.28, FROM_LOCAL_NOVOWEL 2.33, HTML_MESSAGE 0.50, HTML_MIME_NO_HTML_TAG 0.51, MIME_BOUND_DD_DIGITS 3.60, MIME_HTML_ONLY 0.00, MIME_HTML_ONLY_MULTI 0.00, MISSING_MIMEOLE 1.39, MPART_ALT_DIFF 0.14, MSGID_SPAM_CAPS 3.52, RCVD_NUMERIC_HELO 1.25, REPTO_QUOTE_IMS 0.00, SARE_RECV_IP_222032 2.22, SUBJ_ILLEGAL_CHARS 3.36, UNPARSEABLE_RELAY 0.00)

Clearly, this email meets the threshold for autolearning; however, there is no autolearn string to be found, and the access times on the bayes database do /not/ change.

Any further input is more than welcome.
