    Slight correction, it's 100 each of spam and ham for Bayes to activate.
    (200 total)

    Default threshold for spam is 5.0.

    See wiki page below.

    http://wiki.apache.org/spamassassin/AutolearningNotWorking

    "Finally, SpamAssassin requires at least 3 points from the header and 3

    contributes fewer points, the message will not be auto-learned."
