I have the following lines in my local.cf: Bayes_file_mode 0770 Bayes_path /etc/mail/spamassassin/bayes
The files are owned by nobody and group root. I'm using spamc/spamd, through sendmail milter, which runs as nobody and I do manual learning as root every so often when I have enough examples of ham & spam. So far only have 197, but it is increasing for site-wide bayesian. It would be nice to be able to do per-user bayes, but we run MS Exchange and Spam Assassin needs to run on the smarthost, so the concept of users goes out the window. NB note that /etc/mail/spamassassin/bayes doesn't create a folder called bayes, but creates files: bayes_msgcount, bayes_seen, bayes_toks in the spamassassin folder. I'm unsure about copying your existing bayes files across to the new location, but if you do the above changes, copy the files across and try the check_db script in the tools folder of Spamassassin then you should get some indication as to whether it has worked or not.

Hi all, I've been using spamassassin on my home network for a month or so now and am quite happy with it. However, I don't think I'm getting the full benefit of the Bayesian analysis part of it because of the way I have my network set up. Basically, I use a site-wide procmailrc control file (in /etc/procmailrc) to decide where spam and possible-spam goes. As such, it all goes into two files. When I run sa-learn against those mailbox files what I think is the Bayesian database in /home/root grows. Which makes sense, I'm running sa-learn as root and root is the owner of the spam and possible-spam mailboxes. Since little of my incoming spam is addressed to root, however, that growing reservoir of knowledge is mostly going to waste. I know that I could re-arrange my system so that each user had their own spam and possible-spam mailboxes, along with individual .procmailrc files in their home directories. But because we're just a household of four people, and because almost all of our spam is identical [you can't imagine how many multiple pitches for Viagra I've seen :)] I'm hoping there's another way. I saw a reference to setting up the Bayesian database for spamassassin as a site-wide MySQL database, but it wasn't a complete description of the setup. I've used MySQL extensively in the past, so I'm comfortable going that route if, in fact, it's the way to go. So.and apologies for the length of this post.is there a way to set spamassassin up to work with a site-wide Bayesian database?
