autolearning has nothing to do with inboxes

"autolearn=ham, autolearnscore=-0.001"
"autolearnscore=-0.001" must be a bad joke in the config

hence it's dangerous, unpredictable and will sooner or later ruin your bayes without having a corpus where you could kill bad samples, move them from ham to spam or the other direction and just rebuild the bayes-db from scratch based on the fixed corpus, so you will end in wipe it and start from scratch (and need to take care of the minimum amount of training messages until bayes get enabled at all again)

I wasn't referring to SA's autolearning feature, which I agree can
suffer from feedback loops if your thresholds are set wrong (I set
my ham threshold to -2 for this reason).

That's why I used the phrase "automated learning" to distunguish OP's
"automated" cron jobs that calls sa-learn.  In retrospect, I should
have used words that more clearly distinguished it from the
autolearning feature.
