It depends on the autolearn settings in your local.cf or 
sa-mimedefang.cf.  (man Mail::SpamAssassin::Conf for details)

If you've got Bayes running under MIMEDefang already, you're more than 
halfway there.

If you do end up training manually, make sure local.cf has the same 
sitewide bayes settings as sa-mimedefang.cf.  (Or just run it as the 
defang user, depending on how you have it set up.)  You want to make 
sure you're training the same database you'll be using!
