Possible autolearn states

In SpamAssassin 2.5 and 2.6, there were only three states for the autolearn result: ham, spam, and no.

• ham: the message was learned as ham (non-spam)
• spam: the message was learned as spam
• no: the message was not learned

In SpamAssassin 3.0, the result was enhanced to have six states: ham, spam, no, disabled, failed, and unavailable.ham and spam are the same. no is now explicitly that the

• ham: the message was learned as ham (non-spam)
• spam: the message was learned as spam
• no: the specific message didn't achieve the proper threshold values

...

• and requirements to be learned
• disabled

...

• : the configuration specifies bayes_auto_learn 0 or use_bayes 0 and so no autolearning is attempted

...

• failed

...

• : autolearning was attempted, but couldn't complete. This happens if SpamAssassin can't gain a lock on the Bayes database files, etc.
• unavailable

...

• : autolearning not completed for any reason not covered above. It could be the message was already learned.
