Yes, just use the bayes_auto_learn option in SA.  If there's a good amount
of traffic going through the box, it should build up a corpus fairly
quickly.  You may also want to tweak bayes_auto_learn_threshold_nonspam
and bayes_auto_learn_threshold_spam if you don't like the defaults.
I wound up leaving bayes_auto_learn_threshold_nonspam at its default
but adjusted bayes_auto_learn_threshold_spam to 8.0.
