By default all spamassassin users have bayes enabled.
The only difference I can find between this user and a few others
sampled is this user has his procmail set to deliver message identified
as spam to /dev/null. Though out of thousands of users, I know he is

remember that bayes doesn't start to work right away, it has to establish a
