I did however realize that bayes tests are listed in my log file, even though they are not in the header of the msgs.
So, I have bayes autolearn working fine. The database is also fine (> 6000 ham & spam learned). My logs show all that's expected. The messages header are missing the list of Bayes tests, but are otherwise fine. Spamassassin --lint returns no error. I have the SARE rules installed. Running qmail, with qmail-scanner v1.25 and SA 3.0.2. Everything works fine...
Yet, I still have a lot of spam (I know that's relative) that slips through, more that before this SA upgrade. To show some numbers, I use to get a couple of false negatives per day, if any, before the upgrade, now I get anywhere from half a dozen to two dozens. Still much better that the 500 without SA, but not quite fine tuned enough for my taste.
Any suggestions as to where to look next would be appreciated.
Cheers,
Jean

Suggestion: set bayes_file_mode to 0777 not 0666.
The bayes_file_mode is really a mask not literal permissions, so it
won't result in executable bits being set for your bayes files. However,
this mask is sometimes used in directory creation, where the x bit is
quite appropriate.
This is why the default is 0700, not 0600.
