Not exactly, if you specify a directory here then the default file prefix bayes is added automatically. > I guess it should be /var/spool/postfix/spamassassin/bayes_db/bayes Yes, if you omit the prefix here it's simply invalid and you fall back to a value of '~/.spamassassin/bayes'. The '-u amavis' argument to sa-learn is wrong too, as this specifies a virtual mail user, not a unix user to run as. If you are not using per unix user files under ~/ you need to run sa-learn as the user that owns the global files. Do not run with 'bayes_file_mode 0775' as suggested in the howto. This is an ugly and insecure kludge to allow unix users to share a single database. Don't test as root as it will mask problems with permissions.
