[ILUG] My spamassassin seems tired ...

I've noticed that spamassassin does not seem to be doing
as well as it used to on my laptop,
eg in my latest delivery spamassassin found 9 spam messages,
but missed the following 6:
	Professional Credit Loans for Americans [twice]
		X-Spam-Status: No, score=-2.6 required=5.0 tests=BAYES_00 autolearn=ham 
       		 version=3.0.2
	Sales and earnings correlate perfectly for market leader
		[ditto]
	It works, ask your doctor! [twice]
		X-Spam-Status: No, score=4.4 required=5.0 tests=BAYES_00,HELO_DYNAMIC_DHCP,
 	       HTML_IMAGE_ONLY_08,HTML_MESSAGE,MIME_HTML_ONLY autolearn=no 
	        version=3.0.2
	This site is of great worth cause we provide tablets at superssale prices. 
		X-Spam-Status: No, score=0.8 required=5.0 tests=BAYES_00,DATE_IN_PAST_12_24,
  	      HTML_MESSAGE,MIME_HTML_ONLY autolearn=no version=3.0.2
 
Have I something wrong in my settings?
Is there any simple way of checking if Mr Bayes is doing his job?
Should I delete the bayes_toks and bayes_seen?
I seem to have a huge auto-whitelist, does that mean anything?

As always, I rely on the bottomless wisdom of the ILUG gnomes.
