The trouble I had with the autolearner was that some spammers would send innocuous mail through to raise their scores until Bayes decided they were ok, then start spamming. That was a couple of versions back, does that sort of thing no longer work?
Are you sure this is Bayes-related? Bayes looks at the entire message, not just the sender. All I'd expect this tactic to do would be to make future innocuous mail look more innocuous -- it shouldn't have any significant impact on spammy mail from the same source since the content will be different.
