Can someone explain to me why SA won't start using bayes until it's seen several hundred messages? I found that to be very annoying and confusing when I first installed SA. My first experience with bayes was with POPFile and it used it from the first message. There was a day or so of getting a lot of FP's and FN's, but then it settled down and work perfectly. SA was just frustrating, and maybe that had more to do with the lack of feedback about things. I remember looking at the output of sa-learn and it would tell me how many spam/ham it had seen, but that number would often not increase with more learning. I assume that was because it had not seen anything new. Once again, more feedback would have been nice. Or just let it start filtering from the get go. Is there a downside to that?
