Oct 5 13:26:39 pop spamd[19660]: Cannot open bayes databases /home/spamc/.spamassassin/bayes_* R/O: tie failed: Permission denied Oct
The typical cause of this is that the file ownership changed on the bayes files when you converted them to 3.0. At least this was the problem I encountered.
When I did all my conversions following the UPGRADE procedure as root, I had to go back in and convert the files back to their correct ownerships. Check for that.
That's kind of the odd thing. I set the ownership back to spamc, but it was changed to root for bayes_journal and bayes_toks shortly therafter.
What I did instead of UPGRADEing, was nuke the whole database and rebuild it from scratch using some new spam.
This can happen if you have any scripts or process that you use to train the bayes database. Awhile ago I ran into this issue a few times when I was logged in as root and manually trained a message (cat msg | sa-learn --spam), which would occasionally change the ownership of the journal/etc to root. Fixed that by not doing it as root, though now I have bayes in SQL so it doesn't matter.
