You should definitely run 2.55, it catches more. I can't wait for 2.6 to come out
because stuff is definitely starting to sneak past 2.55 as spammers tailor their
messages. You could run 2.6 from CVS/SourceForge but I personally don't do that on
our production systems.

Doesn't explain it _all_ but a good start is:
man sa-learn
Bayes is great. Mostly you can just enable it ('use_bayes 1' in local.cf) and forget
about it. It will typically auto-learn spam/ham as it comes in. sa-learn is a manual
method of submitting spam/ham into the Bayes db. Bayes scores won't kick in until
there are at least 200 spam and 200 ham messages in the db.
