Oh my.

So apparently my pre-spamassassin filtering is keeping all the best spam
away from spamassassin.

My autolearn threshold is set to 12 for spam. I’ll take it down a few
notches, feed in some spam from elsewhere, and see what happens.

Thanks for the pointer, it simply didn’t occur to me that it’s not going to
do anything without a large enough spam/ham sample size.

I believe that the floor for the autolearn-spam threshold is internally hard
coded to 12 (with a 6/6 split) so it won't do any good to drop your config 
setting
below 12. Even the tflags "autolearn_force" action is limited by this coding,
so if the spam doesn't score at least 12 it will never get autolearned.

Either set up some kind of external path to feed known spam directly to
"sa-learn --spam" or add some special rules to take known spam and slam
them with a grob'o points.

I ran into this issue when trying to force-auto-learn spam-trap fodder.
