1) Is there a simple way of dumping email with an empty To: header?
This seems invariably to be spam, and I'm surprised SA doesn't seem
to score it highly.
Maybe it doesn't consider this to be a header?

2) Does "autolearn" actually remove spam with a very high score?
Or does it still get marked as spam by SA and passed on?

3) As will be obvious, I am not a student of SA;
I just use the default setting, which seems to work well enough for me.
But I'm a little surprised that more or less identical email
that I have marked as spam many times and passed through salearn
still seems to get through.
Is there a simple check to make sure salearn is working?
(I get the message that "192 messages have been examined",
and ~/.spamassassin/bayes_seen and bayes_tok are pretty large,
300kB and 5MB.)

4) I haven't found a short and simple SA tutorial,
explaining how SA works,
with a few tests that one might add to the default,
and a couple of checks one could try to make sure it is working.
