Now that I'm using SA, I'm using Bayesian filtering, yes?


    If you turned it on, yes.
Kmail does allow you to define filters, but wouldn't it be better to let
exim do the filtering before the mail reaches the MUA?


    Yes, however the filters need to be trained.  To do that you need to send
examples of both ham and spam to the Bayesian filter.  Read up on it:

man sa-learn


From what I'm seeing in the logs and in the docs is that Bayesian filtering is enabled by default. But it is not used until there is (IIRC) 200 emails of both spam and ham built into the database.

Did I miss something?
