Known bug, currently the spam filtering implementation does not work, as
spamassassin does not start to work until it has learned 200 non-spam
messages, and Evo has no way to teach SA what a non-spam message ("ham")
looks like.

You can work around it by using sa-learn on the command line.  See the
spamassassin docs for more info.
