[Mimedefang] bayes filtering for a mimedefang implementation

I am running SpamAssassin 2.54 and MIMEDefang 2.35.
Is it possible to use Bayesian filtering and bayes_auto_learn (in SpamAss)
with MIMEDefang? I have no local users on these mail servers, as they
only relay mail to our internal mail system. I have run sa-learn
manually on some mail on our test system and the bayes files were created
appropriately. However when I send mail through the machine I do not see
any changes to those files that would indicate auto learning is actually
working. I have put in some custom SpamAss rules and modified the default
bayes auto learn threshold to ensure that my test message meets the
criteria in the man page.
I reviewed the last few months of list archives and saw one message saying
that auto learning doesn't work with MIMEDefang:

but other messages indicating others have it working
http://lists.roaringpenguin.com/pipermail/mimedefang/2003-August/007235.html
This of course begs the question of whether or not learning based on
SpamAss's rating is a good idea. However a manual sort is not practical
given my users' skills, patience, and MUA. ;)
Any help would be appreciated.
Thanks in advance,
Matt
