And even then, it won't result in training unless it happens to meet SA's 
autolearning criteria.. Correct?

i.e.: "Is Definitely Spam" won't actually change anything about the call to 
SpamAssassin, but may leave SA entirely out if "Always Include SpamAsasssin 
Report" is disabled (which it is the default).
