That's OK then. What probably made it more confusing was that I put them in to a dir called bayes.

No, from reading the docs it's EXACTLY how it should work. It's a bit confusing, since the parameter is named "bayes_path".. which leads you to expect it is a path... but it's not a path... it's a filename that will have _toks, etc appended.. the docs explain this. Of course, if they named it 'bayes_file" people would be confused by SA creating multiple files with this as a name... and "bayes_path_plus_partial_filename" is just a bit too long to be useful :) From Mail::SpamAssassin::Conf bayes_path /path/to/file(default: ~/.spamassassin/bayes) Path for Bayesian probabilities databases. Several databases will be created, with this as the base, with _toks, _seen etc. appended to this filename; so the default setting results in files called ~/.spamassassin/bayes_seen, ~/.spamassassin/bayes_toks etc. By default, each user has their own, in their ~/.spamassassin directory with mode 0700/0600, but for system-wide SpamAssassin use, you may want to reduce disk space usage by sharing this across all users. (However it should be noted that Bayesian filtering appears to be more effective with an individual database per user.) ------------------------------------------------------- This SF.net email is sponsored by: IBM Linux Tutorials.
