Actually, it it entirely possible to use a global bayes database if you use
procmail. Just add these lines to your /etc/mail/spamassassin/local.cf file:
I don't use procmail, I use postfix with cyrus imap, but postfix can be set up to pipe through spamassassin so that's fine
use_bayes 1 bayes_path /etc/mail/spamassassin/bayes bayes_file_mode 777
Also make sure that everyone uses the '-C /etc/mail/spamassassin' option on
sa-learn, so that they update the correct database.
thanks
I just tried, but it loks like the bayes_* files aren't updated :( see below
