O_o Truly weird; barring some strange installation screwup (ie, spamd is calling code from SA2.6x instead of 3.x), you should see *identical* scores with both calling methods, except that spamd/spamc is a whole lot faster and far less likely to cause your system to stall mail processing. > OK, but wouldn't 0666 be sufficient?

It's actually more of a sort of bitmask; SA also uses that setting to make sure permissions on the directory the bayes_* files are in are appropriate as well (among other things, it allows anyone to create the bayes_journal file, which is used to accumulate changes to the main BDB files in several different contexts). The _toks and _seen BDB files are actually created with the execute bits removed. -kgd -- Get your mouse off of there! You don't know where that email has been!
