You can train the Bayes filter by using the sa-learn program. See man 1 sa-learn for more specific about how to use it. Basically, you take a minimum of 200 messages known to be spam (I use mbox format) and run it through such as: # sa-learn --showdots --mbox --spam /path/to/file You also need a minimum of 200 ham (non-spam) messages, using the following command (again, mbox format): # sa-learn --showdots --mbox --ham /path/to/ham/file SpamAssassin should learn on it's own and will begin invoking the Bayes filters once it's had the minimum of 200 messages of each spam/ham. If you want more accurate results, feed it more mail. I save spam I get and try to run a bunch of it through every few months, and I do the same with ham.
