I cannot find any special setting for autolearn (either
bayes_auto_learn_threshold_nonspam or
bayes_auto_learn_threshold_spam ) in either /etc/mail/spamassassin/local.cf or
~/.spamassassin/user_prefs . It probably means they are the default which is
0.1 and 12.0 respectively which seems reasonable enough.
I'll try to retrain the Bayesian filter.
