did you restart amavis
No. I didn't think that somehow it reloaded spamassassin rules. Did that now.
SA is not "run as needed" by Amavis. Amavis (which runs as a daemon)
actually imports the SA code and uses it directly. So if you're running
Amavis you *are* running SA as a daemon, just not as the "spamd" daemon.
Amavis does need to be restarted any time the rules are changed.

It has nothing to do with your Bayes learning.
The SA project's rule masscheck/score generation system was rebuilt due to
hardware issues recently, and we appear to be having some problems with
score generation - lots of previously higher-scoring rules are now not
getting a score assigned and are thus defaulting to only one point. I'd
suggest this is why you're suddenly seeing more spam get through.
