Introduction
According to the Spamassassin documentation, the Bayes system is not activated until a certain number of ham (non-spam) and spam has been learned. The default is 200 of each ham and spam messages. It means that SpamAssassin begins to filter mails (according to your trainings) after 200 spam mails and 200 non-spam mails were learned. These statistics are needed to distinguish spam mails.
