thanks for your quick reply. i expected the spam to be filtered into
the Junk mailbox on the server I guess.
i just sent a test email with GTUBE subject line and i got this
Jan 15 17:28:40 ns1 amavis[23493]: (23493-20) Blocked SPAM
{DiscardedInbound,Quarantined}, [74.125.82.46]:39246 [74.125.82.46]

so does that mean amavis is discarding the spams or only above a certain
hits?
this is the local.cf after configuring the bayes:
# These values can be overridden by editing ~/.spamassassin/user_prefs.cf
# (see spamassassin(1) for details)
# These should be safe assumptions and allow for simple visual sifting
# without risking lost emails.
