You first have to create a Rule in Edit->Filters
A great tutorial is to be found the the Balsa Help (Help->Contents)

I use Balsa together with an exim->procmail->spamassassin->procmail pipe

But I think you can even give mails directly to spamassassin right from  
balsa.

Note: In order to get Bayesian filters to work much quicker you have to  
set a spam and a ham-folder over which you will have to do a "sa-learn"  
every day (cron is your friend...)


It filters 98% of my spam correctly and after 2months there were no more  
false-positive!
Another thing: I had to set

score BAYES_90 5.00

in user_prefs to work in a much improved way!

I also thinking that!
