bayes_min_num_ham not taking effect

Hi all

I want to enable auto learning only after a certain amount
of manual 
training.  Therefore, I have set the following in
/etc/mail/spamassassin/
local.cf:

bayes_min_ham_num 200
bayes_min_spam_num 200

However, even after starting with an empty bayes database,
amavisd-new 
seems to be autolearning, even before manual training of the
specified 
number of messages.  I get messages stating autolearn=spam,

autolearn=ham, etc, and the bayes databases are growing in
size.

How can I force amavisd-new to respect the spamassassin
settings in this 
case?

Chris

These are the defaults for these settings.

It looks like these setting don't control what you think
they do.
These mean that
you must have learned at least these many messages before
Bayes will begin to
contribute to the score. If you want to turn autolearn off,
use:

bayes_auto_learn 0
