After setting-up spamassassin, RTFM and monitoring the list I am still very confused about the correct way to set-up and run spamassassin with bays (sa-learn).
The basics: I am running Post.Office as a MTA on OS X client 10.2.8. Post.Office has a plug-in that calls SA, checks the spam status and allows for the rejection or notification of spam. My current set-up is running spamd as follows: /usr/bin/spamd -u mta -d -r /var/run/spamd.pid I have added the -x and -D flags off and on to play with the disabling of user profiles and debugging. This system is set-up for system wide filtering. I have no need for user specific user rules or bayes databases. When spamd runs it looks for /var/root/.spamassassin to create the bayes files. I manually created that directory with the appropriate permissions / ownership. Here is my local.cf file bayes section: #use_bayes 0 use_bayes 1 bayes_file_mode 0700 #bayes_path /var/spool/bayes/bayes bayes_path /var/root/.spamassassin/bayes bayes_auto_expire 1 bayes_learn_to_journal 0 My maillog still shows 'permission denied' errors on the /var/root/.spamassassin folder. When I run sa-learn (as root) my bayes files are created in /var/root/.spamassassin/ but as user root? I am very confused and I know I am not doing this correctly. Could someone please point me in the right direction on this? Thanks, Dan ------------------------------------------------------- This SF.net email is sponsored by: IBM Linux Tutorials.
