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).
