Bayes will not autolearn a message unless some specific criteria are met.
If those criteria are not met, you will see "autolearn=no".

For more info, see this page:
    http://wiki.apache.org/spamassassin/AutolearningNotWorking

SA will give you a more verbose report for Spam messages automatically.  If
you want that same report on all messages, add this to your local.cf or
user_prefs file:

    add_header all Report _REPORT_

There is nothing here, it is all comments.

You might want to configure the trusted_networks.  It will work for some
people with the default auto-guess setup, but it is safest to configure it
manually.
