The spamassassin run won't be able to use Bayes for testing a mail, as the debug output says, until there's 200 each of spam, ham. And though I've only used sa-learn for Bayes training, I assume the linked spamtrap outline is sound, Bayes learning as expected :) - handy to know spamassassin options provide for this. Ham/spam limits are a factor in terms of using the Bayes analysis in detection, not training. And obviously, the sa-learn run will learn what's sent it. As a follow-up check, you should see the corresponding ham/spam database counts increase with each test you run.
