Hi Micah,

In order for Bayes to actually make a difference, it needs plenty of
training.  It's disabled by default in most installs - unless you have
at least 200 of both spam and ham taught.  This needs to be done
manually, unless you have autolearn enabled.

To see what is really going on run "$ spamassassin -D <
/path/to/the/email > /dev/null", and see if you can learn anything as to
why it's not working as expected.

Also, to see how experienced your Bayes knowledge is - use "$ sa-leanrn
--dump magic"

HTH.

Kind Regards,
Dave Walker
