add_header and Bayes

Hi list,

When I originally wrote the experimental ASN plugin (since then SpamAssassin-ized and improved by the dev team), my impression was that headers added by an add_header directive in a *.cf file would be taken up by Bayes - specifically to allow Bayes to learn "bad networks" automagically from a "X-Spam-ASN" header.

However, that header seems not to be used by Bayes. The relevant configuration:

• --- cut --- add_header all Spammy _SPAMMYTOKENS(5,compact)_ add_header all Hammy _HAMMYTOKENS(5,compact)_

ifplugin Mail::SpamAssassin::Plugin::ASN asn_lookup asn.routeviews.org _ASN_ _ASNCIDR_ add_header all ASN _ASN_ _ASNCIDR_
endif
- --- cut ---

For mails from this list, I get the following headers (example from a recent message):

• --- cut --- X-Spam-ASN: AS3701 140.211.0.0/16 X-Spam-Hammy: 0.000-+--H*Ad:D*spamassassin.apache.org, 0.000-+--Hlist-unsubscribe:sk:users-u, 0.000-+--Hlist-help:sk:users-h, 0.000-+--H*Ad:U*users, 0.000-+--HTo:U*users X-Spam-Spammy: 0.999-1--belief, 0.913-+--H*r:unknown, 0.900-+--H*x:Outlook, 0.900-+--H*UA:Outlook, 0.890-+--H*UA:Microsoft
• --- cut ---

Almost all messages to this very list get "autolearn=ham", and it's obvious from the -Hammy header above that SA did consider headers added at an earlier stage.

What would need to be done/changed/configured to allow learning on the X-Spam-ASN header?
