I just did an install of spampd on my debian box and am working my way through
the different configurations...
First, I found that /var/cache/spampd/awl had the wrong permissions so I changed
that and I stopped getting errors. Interestingly, I have AWL disabled. But I
guess it likes to check anyways. That seems reasonable.
Second, I enabled bayes with bayes_auto_learn also enabled. Nothing else just
yet. I'm not into the per-user stuff or anything like that (won't work with
spampd anyways).
But I'm not seeing anything in the system logs to indicate that anything
bayes-ish is going on. I can't yet check the actual message because I'm still
running it between dummy stubs (postfix smtp-source and smtp-sink).
But I haven't anything in /var/cache/spampd/bayes which is what my bayes_path is
set to.
I realize I can't get anything working until I get to a couple hundred emails,
but I should see the database file in this directory, right?
