Hello,

Some 99% of the spam that I receive, which is grossly spammy (we're
talking auto loans, cash advances, dink pills, the whole lot) contains
"BAYES_00=-1.9" in the tests portion of the X-Spam-Status header.

Might anyone know why? This is a stock installation (Ubuntu package on
10.04).

local.cf contains

#   Bayesian classifier auto-learning (default: 1)
#
# bayes_auto_learn 1

and I have not overridden the default elsewhere. So, presumably,
auto-learning is enabled (if that's event relevant).

While I have not trained the Bayesian filter manually to date, how is it
that the spammiest of the spam is being classified with BAYES_00
(thereby receiving the score -1.9)? Doesn't BAYES_00 imply that the
message is almost certainly not spam?

Others have run into this same problem, but I see no resolution; here is
one such example:

Outside of the above forum post, search query results for this issue are
scant.

Thanks for any help,

-Ben
