Hi, Mike,

I use POPFiles, not Spamassassin, so I wish to apologize right up front
for my ignorance of SA. I noticed something in your headers that leads
me to ask you this question:

Shouldn't 'autolearn=' be set to 'yes' instead of 'no'? Isn't this where
you let the 'AI' aspect of SA learn to do its thing?

Sorry again for my ignorance. Just had me wondering why you had this
switch set to 'no'.

Hope you find your answer.

Paul
