Read emails header - bayes

Hello, 

I got spamassaim working and now i´m trying to check if bayes is working, I manually feed bayes database with about 10000 spams already marked as spam by spamassasim, now I´m looking at the headers of new emails and have no idea of what to look to check if bayes is working.

Look for X-Spam-Status headers containing BAYES_## where ## is 00, 50, 95, 
99, etc.

Also, make sure you train SA on some ham (nonspam) as well... SA's bayes 
engine can't distinguish between spam and ham unless it's seen some of both.

Initially, you have to feed the bayes-db with ham too.
You should see bayes almon the other tests in X-Spam-Status.
