Possible autolearn states

In SpamAssassin 2.5 and 2.6, there were only three states for the autolearn result:

  • ham: the message was learned as ham (non-spam)
  • spam: the message was learned as spam
  • no: the message was not learned

ham, spam, and no. In SpamAssassin 3.0, the result was enhanced to have six states: ham, spam, no, disabled, failed, and unavailable.ham and spam are the same. no is now

  • ham: the message was learned as ham (non-spam)
  • spam: the message was learned as spam
  • no: explicitly that the message didn't achieve the proper threshold values

...

  • and requirements to be learned
  • disabled: means that the configuration specifies bayes_auto_learn 0 or use_bayes 0 and so no autolearning is attempted

...

  • failed: means that autolearning was attempted, but couldn't complete. This happens if SpamAssassin can't gain a lock on the Bayes database files, etc.
  • unavailable

...

  • : catch-all for anything not covered above.

Question: Which of the six states means "Autolearn not performed: message already learned"?
