I have the same issue also. No matter how I configure bayes in my config files spamd
continues to look in the user directories for
the bayes database. I have sa-learn updating to /var/spool/spamassassin/ but spamd
keeps trying to create user files in my home
directory. I have tried the -x flag for spamd but now spamd is looking for
/usr/local/post.office/.spamassassin.
/usr/local/post.office is the install location of my mail server (Post.Office) and my
mail user that I am running spamd under (mta).
This whole bayes database location issue hurts my brain :^\
Can someone on the list answer a few questions in an efforst to resolve this?
Example:
I am running spamd as follows:
sudo /usr/bin/spamd -u mta -d -r /var/run/spamd.pid
I have specified my bayes path as:
/var/spool/bayes/bayes
in my local.cf file.
My /var/spool/bayes/bayes* are being updated as I run sa-learn and sudo sa-learn
--dump outputs lots of data.
My maillog show spamd looking in various places for the bayes database even when bayes
is disabled:
command: sudo /usr/bin/spamd -u mta -d -D -r /var/run/spamd.pid
user state path: /var/root/.spamassassin
command: sudo /usr/bin/spamd -u mta -x -d -D -r /var/run/spamd.pid
user state path: /usr/local/post.office/.spamassassin
Here are some spamassassin outputs:

It seems very inconsistant where SA is looking for the database. The use_bayes = 1
option # 2 shows 26 ham(s) in Bayes which seems
about right given the amount of e-mail I have fed sa-learn.
I am guessing this has something to do with my user permissions.
Any ideas out there??
Thanks,
Dan
