Upon startup, spamassassin parses all of the hundreds of rules within those files. It does this automaticaly. > Is Bayes only 1 rule in SA? No, it's several rules, and those rules are actualy hooks into the code itself. > I noticed I needed to train Bayes with 200 SPAM/HAM before it > functions. Does SA function without Bayes?

No, copy them into /etc/mail/spamassassin/ The /usr/share/spamassassin/ is intended for the default rules that ship with SA, and the process of upgrading SA obliterates the whole directory and recreates it. /etc/mail/spamassassin/ is intended for your local add-ons, and will be preserved during upgrade.
