A lot depends on how you are "globally" using SpamAssassin. In my case, I have a "spamfilter" user which runs SpamAssassin on all incoming mail, so I run sa-learn as that user, e.g.: su spamfilter -c '/usr/bin/sa-learn --spam --showdots --dir ./' In your local.cf file you need to specify the correct directory for this user. In my case: bayes_path /home/spamfilter/.spamassassin/bayes (This is with SpamAssassin 2.64.) > second, how do I tell from the header of a scanned email if it used the bayes filter or better if it user the new learned spam? In this header ... X-Spam-Status: No, hits=2.5 required=4.0 tests=AWL,BAYES_90,CLICK_BELOW autolearn=no .. you can clearly see that the Bayes test was run. The best way to tell if your sa-learn stuff works is to take some uncaught spam, learn it with sa-learn, then test it again and see how it scores after it has been added to the Bayes database as spam, e.g.: spamassassin -t -D < _spam2test/1. /k -- Kyle Silfer Systems Manager NuCity Publications 505.346.0660 x242
