As I just settled with RW in this very thread, the number of spam excee-
ding the bayes_min_spam_num value does not activate Bayes *learn*ing. It
means that Bayes will classify mail -- based on what it learned before.
Learning, whether manual or automatic, always is available if use_bayes
and bayes_auto_learn are enabled.
The bayes_min_(ham|spam)_num values ONLY control, how many messages
Bayes needs to have learned, before it should start classifying mail.
And again, 1 is not a sane number.

No. *sigh* I did explain this earlier today. This is NOT how Bayes
works. Bayes does NOT keep signatures of entire messages. Instead, it
keeps track of *tokens*, and the number they have been seen in ham or
spam. Think of tokens as words.
Please do read up on Bayes. And please stop re-iterating this false
assumption.
Given you repeating some "signature of a message", and your other thread
regarding Razor (which does actually calculate some signatures for a
message) -- I have a feeling you are confusing Bayes with Razor. They
are entirely unrelated and do not use the same mechanisms.

It is a database. It is not a flat text file. There is nothing strange
about updating values in a database, and not seeing it inflate
proportional to your input data.
