Hmmm, I checked 2.55's rules/*.cf and didn't find 'bayes_auto_learn' enabled
there.

Now, oddly under 2.60 (cvs) the mail headers say that auto-learn=off.

The problem is that I saw things like,

X-Spam-Checker-Version: SpamAssassin 2.60-cvs (1.195-2003-06-30-exp) on
screamerX-Spam-Level: ***
X-Spam-Status: No, hits=3.0 required=5.0 tests=BAYES_99 autolearn=no
+version=2.60-cvs

showing up. The BAYES_99 flag would seem to indicate that the Bayes
algorithm is
yielding a score in the 0.99 to 1.00 range, but to the best of my knowledge,
I have Bayes checking presently turned off.

To summarize:

1) bayes_auto_learn 1 appears to be asserted in 10_misc.cf, but the headers
say
   autolearn=no which seems to indicate that auto-learn is presently off.
Now this
   might be quite normal behavior if Bayes is disabled as I think it is.

2) Even though Bayes is not enabled (to the best of my knowledge), I'm
seeing
   BAYES_99 being asserted in the spam scoring. The scoring report shows the
   various BAYES levels being given different weights as expected.
