Understand that this will not give you the best Bayes performance possible, but it's been working pretty well for us.
When you first start using Spamassassin it will take a little while before Bayes has auto-learned the 200 hams and 200 spams it needs to get going, so you won't see any hits on Bayes until this has happened. On our system it takes about an hour for this many messages to be auto-learned. Good luck! Sandy
