bayes

hi I installed spam assassin with defaults but I don't think that I have
bayes running, is bayes a program that I have to download? I looked at
wiki but it looks like it's already there and it just needs to be
started, is this correct?

Thanks,

No.

Not exactly. You need to feed at least 200 spam messages (and 200
hams, I think) to get Bayes to kick in. Until that point it has
nothing to go on and is very unreliable.
