The problem is that the documentation suggests that you enable the two options, and sit back and watch the database being built as e-mail comes in. The reality is that the two options enable the use of the bayesian filter, but the database remains empty until you have trained it on a suitably large dataset of spam and "ham". Does anyone have a way of using Mimedefang to automatically build the database, even if that means forwarding a copy of every message to either a spam or ham mailbox, and then processing and deleting the mailbox daily?
