X-Spam-Status: Yes, score=18.7 req=4.8..autolearn=no
autolearn_force=no
Shouldn't a score of 18.7 trigger an autolearn?
Not all rules contribute to the score used for the autolearn
decision. Particularly, the BAYES rules don't contribute to the
autolearning decision in order to avoid positive feedback loops.

That's why my "bayes_auto_learn" thresholds were fairly high.
So why is it called bayes_auto_learn_threshold if it isn't used for
auto-learning? Isn't that a bit confusing?
It is used for auto-learning. That threshold just doesn't sum up every
rule to prevent several classes of "my auto-learning is giving this a
ridiculous score" problems.
