Still nothing. There's still more to it than that. Mail::SpamAssassin::Conf(3) has the following: bayes_auto_learn_threshold_spam n.nn (default: 12.0) The score threshold above which a mail has to score, to be fed into SpamAssassin's learning systems automatically as a spam message. Note: SpamAssassin requires at least 3 points from the header, and 3 points from the body to auto-learn as spam. Therefore, the mini- mum working value for this option is 6. So, a message can score 25 points off the body and 2 off the headers, and it will not be autolearned.
