By default Bayes is in learning mode. That is no actions are being done to block or pass through a message or authorization request. If a contact gets approved, his previous messages are considered ham and are added to a Bayes database. If a contact doesn't respond with a correct answer for 2 days all previous messages are considered spam. The database is an SQLite database located in Plugins/spamotron folder. Since ICQ spam is not that frequent as email spam, you might need some time for Bayes engine to learn sufficient number of messages. To speed things up you have an option to manually learn any message as spam or ham. A good place to start is a System history. Usually it has a lot of e. g. spam authorization requests. Having learned at least 50 of spam and 20 of ham messages you may try to enable blocking of messages with a high spam score and/or automatically approve contacts with a low score. Both are configurable.
