If you are using spamd, you need to start the daemon as root and do whatever your local mailer requires to drop to the privileges of the user receiving the mail. In the case of procmail, that is DROPPRIVS=yes in procmailrc. The auto_learn will work when running as a non-root user (spamd in my case). You must set the directory and file ownership properly for your etc/mail/spamassassin directory. This is the place for custom rules and where I told SA to look for my site wide Bayes db. The auto_learn only works for me when spamd as authority to do the update. There are couple of related config options to define the points at which mail is learned. See the man for Mail::SpamAssassin::Conf under auto_learn_threshold_nonspam and auto_learn_threshold_spam. Autolearn = no means that the threshold for nonspam or spam was not reached, hence no update. Not sure what =fail is, unless it is a permission problem.
