Thx for the response. Actually only mails that don't get flagged by SA
are placed in this folder. Heres the extract from the .procmailrc that
controls this.

does this mean that bayes is invoked and the message logged even if the
message doesn't get tagged as spam?

It looks to me like it did work. 37 messages were examined, and Bayes
*chose* not to (re)learn any of them.

Do you clean out that folder after each sa-learn? If you learn spam in
the morning, and attempt to learn the *same* spam in the afternoon,
Bayes
will give you exactly the above symptom, because there's nothing new to
learn -- Bayes has already learned these spam.
