David,

I posted the following message on ServerFault several days ago, but since it has gotten very little attention, I thought I would ask on this mailing
list.

I'm trying to figure out a few things:
1) If SpamAssassin is configured properly and I'm editing the proper config
files

2) How I can get the Bayes filter's headers into my emails (even if the
Bayes filter isn't used)

You can't.

However, you can enable bayes debugging from SpamAssassin
to be logged in the amavis log:

  $sa_debug = 'bayes';

these will be logged at amavis log level 3 (syslog level 'debug'),
so make sure $log_level is 3 or higher.


3) How many messages (100 vs. 200) that Bayes has to be trained on (with sa-learn) and if that's ultimately the issue I'm experiencing right now.

It's 200 each by default:

 $ man Mail::SpamAssassin::Conf

  bayes_min_ham_num        (Default: 200)
  bayes_min_spam_num       (Default: 200)
    To be accurate, the Bayes system does not activate until a certain
    number of ham (non-spam) and spam have been learned.  The default
    is 200 of each ham and spam, but you can tune these up or down with
    these two settings.


Mark
