I'm using spamassassin because it's included in the DirectAdmin hosting panel we use (http://www.directadmin.com/).
We use version 2.55, implemented with Exim 4.24. I haven't noticed any improvement after training using sa-learn on hundreds of messages and I noticed what may be an interesting anomaly: I appear to have a working automatic bayes fileset at /var/spool/mail/.spamassassin: <snip> [EMAIL PROTECTED] .spamassassin]# ls -al /var/spool/mail/.spamassassin/ total 52328 drwx------ 2 mail mail 4096 Dec 14 22:53 . drwxrwxr-x 3 root mail 4096 Dec 13 11:17 .. -rw------- 1 mail mail 42631168 Dec 14 22:53 auto-whitelist -rw------- 1 mail mail 862215 Dec 14 22:53 bayes_journal -rw------- 1 mail mail 4395 Dec 14 22:53 bayes_msgcount -rw------- 1 mail mail 2633728 Dec 14 22:49 bayes_seen -rw------- 1 mail mail 12963840 Dec 14 22:49 bayes_toks -rw-r--r-- 1 mail mail 1218 Oct 6 13:55 user_prefs [EMAIL PROTECTED] .spamassassin]# </snip> I believe this works for automatic learning as the date stamps continue to escalate without me doing anything. But I also have the following at /root/.spamassassin: <snip> [EMAIL PROTECTED] .spamassassin]# ls -al /root/.spamassassin/ total 4304 drwx------ 2 root root 4096 Dec 14 22:03 . drwxr-x--- 6 root root 4096 Dec 14 22:28 .. -rw------- 1 root root 3049 Dec 14 22:03 bayes_msgcount -rw------- 1 root root 176128 Dec 14 22:03 bayes_seen -rw------- 1 root root 5197824 Dec 14 22:03 bayes_toks [EMAIL PROTECTED] .spamassassin]# </snip> I believe this is what's updating when I run sa-learn, as the dates on this appear to update whenever I do sa-learn. So my questions are: How can I tell which of these is being used by bayes? My believe is the one at /var/spool/.spamassassin is being used because I remember that when I first started using spamassassin it didn't start working until autolearn had passed a certain threshold, but I can't be sure <frown>. and Can I merge these two directories' files, since I've deleted the emails I ran through sa-learn and I'd love to not have to start over again if possible? and Presuming the database used by spamassassin is the one at /var/spool/.spamassassin, how can I run sa-learn in the future so it updates that database?
