Hi everybody,

I'm using Spamassassin 3.0.3 on a Debian machine running spampd proxy.
When I check my receiving mail's headers I see that when talks about
autolearn always says no or failed, what could be the reason?


1) are you using spamd?
2) do you call spamc as root?
3) do you pass -u to either spamc or spamd?

Default Debian configuration is to run spamd as root and call spamc as Debian-exim...I was using this without problems.

I suspect a permissions problem when creating/accessing the bayes database. I think Debian-exim has /var/spool/exim4 as home directory, so spamassassin will try to create /var/spool/exim4/.spamassassin. Check that Debian-exim as read-write access. There should be errors in spamd.log if it's a permission problem.

Of course, Matt's suggestion is better...
