Bill,

The answer to that is no.  Once you manually prime the bayes pump (use 
the sa-learn command), the filtering will take off on it's own.  You 
will need to set the following variables in the 
/etc/mail/assassin/sa-mimedefang.cf files:

auto_learn 1
use_bayes 1
bayes_path    /var/spool/MIMEDefang/bayes

That should get you started.
