First, a big "thank you" to the developers!

Using the bayes learner, starting it with several 100 spams
and about 1000 hams, and then mainly feeding it spam that
wasn't caught in the past had a tremendously positive effect here.
At the momemnt, spamassassin is almost perfect for us.
We have one problem though: 
In some cases of "restart", the Bayes part just never starts
working.  I see that no BAYES_.. entries are in the X-Spam-Status
and that the scores or 2nd, not 4th (of the 4 numeric scores for
most rules).  Has anyone an idea how this could happen?

Here's our setup:
We use "spamd" from procmail and procmail as "milter-like" from
sendmail (on Solaris).  

To start sendmail when booting, or (restarting after
configuration change), we have the following in /etc/init.d/sendmail

        # Start daemons.
        /usr/bin/newaliases > /dev/null 2>&1
    <...>

        # Start spamassassin
        if [ -f /etc/init.d/spamd ]; then
                /etc/init.d/spamd start
        fi

        # Start amavisd
        if [ -f /etc/init.d/amavis ]; then
                /etc/init.d/amavis start
        fi

        # Start sendmail
    <....> 

        # Restart syslog-ng
        /etc/init.d/syslog-ng stop
        /etc/init.d/syslog-ng start
        ;;

Now, if I *again* do an   /etc/init.d/spamd restart
the bayes part of spamd will kick in.. 
So I know how to remedy the problem, but I still wonder how the
problems can happen.

You may ask/answer me off list too (I'm on the digest only anyway).
Thank you in advance,
