You won't get bayesian filtering until the bayes database has learned 200 spam and 200 ham messages. Ideally, the user teaches bayes ham and spam using sa-learn to feed it; however, SA will auto-learn messages if their score is sufficiently high (for spam) or sufficiently low (for ham). To avoid auto-learning incorrectly, there is a significant margin above and below 5.0 within which it won't auto-learn messages (so, for example, it won't auto-learn a spam that scores 4.9 as ham). You can disable auto-learning via the config files, and you can disable bayes too. But both are enabled by default. If you're not seeing BAYES_xx entries yet, it's possible you haven't learned enough ham or spam, or alternatively that you haven't got appropriate database support available on your system (you need the Perl DB_File module).
