Hello,

I have a question regarding autolearning and Bayes functionality.

From reading the documentation, it appears that to train the Bayesian filter I 
require a minimum of 1,000 pieces of ham and 1,000 pieces of spam.  I am 
currently collecting spam on one of my servers via a spam trap address and 
slowly reaching that number.  I was wondering, though, if I can use auto 
learning (bayes_auto_learn 1), before training the database ?

When autolearn fires on messages at the moment, it is correctly detecting ham 
and spam based on the default ham and spam thresholds:

    bayes_auto_learn_threshold_nonspam 0.1
    bayes_auto_learn_threshold_spam 12.0

Can this be used before training the database or is it more often used to 
supplement (on an ongoing basis), a database that has already be trained ?

Thanks,

- J
