By default, you'll need 200 pieces of spam, and 200 pieces of ham before Bayesian filtering kicks in. A good way to see if it started yet is to run spamassassin from the command line with the debug and verbose options. Near the top of the resulting output will be some Bayesian information. It'll either tell you that it's scanning the message, or that Bayesian filtering hasn't been activated yet because of something. -- Alex Malinovich Support Free Software, delete your Windows partition TODAY!
