Correct.

AFAIK Bayesit is not able (due to the plugin API) to insert headers into
the mail (eg with a spam score). If that was possible you could remove
the tickmark in the Spam plugin config to move the mail into Junk folder
and filter on that Bayesit-headers.
Nevertheless you should re-train Bayesit with the mails it got wrong and
you probably won't notice it, if they get filtered correctly anyway.
So, with the current setup you are somehow forced to re-train and that's
good for Bayesit's learning capabilities.

I for myself use POPFile, which uses the same approach (Bayesian), but
is a lot more useful, as it can have as many "buckets" as you want. Eg,
I have "spam", "english", "german", "admin" and "PGP".
Accuracy is 99.62% for 28293 mails - which is awesome.
