The reason I ask is that it's practically impossible for Bayes to find only one token, so it would be a sign that something is wrong if some part of spamassassin is telling you that. > I infer from this they perform similar or the same function, from a > Bayes sense. spamassassin -r is mainly for reporting spam to SpamCop, Pyzor, etc, training Bayes is just a side-effect. But there's no grounds for thinking the training is going to be any different to running sa-learn or auto-training.
