Reading the instructions for the spamassassin-bultin bayesian
filtering, it seems it's not so straightforward. As usual, the
sure-fire spam killer doesn't exist. How involved is "you teach it"?
(Rhetorical question, I'm not prepared to depend on some huge bloatware
for mail filtering so won't use it anyway.)

Hm. Despite what people rave about, even after tweaking (increase html
scores, add those patterns, rbl lookups, etc) I only reach a 95-98% hit
rate with SA. No false +, but spam specifically crafted to slip through
SA only scores about 2.5 (I've seen several of them now).
