It would seem that by having auto-learning turned on, and a few spam messages get through, this could create a domino effect as more and more is learned as non-spam when it actually is spam. I continue to send tons of the same type of spam through for learning, but I will then see the same type come through with 50%. By starting over and feeding 1000k + of legitimate spam, would that clean the bayes scoring up?

Autolearn is not very good. I turned it off long ago. Do you do bayes
maintenance? Like sa-learn --force-expire...
