Depends.. do you have a bayes_path statement in your config? If so, yes. If not, it can be drwx------ (ie chmod 700). However, if you use a bayes_path statement in your config, the target will need to be RWX for any user that SpamAssassin might get executed as. You'll also need to use bayes_file_mode 777 or 770 to force the files to be created with group or world read/write. (yes, you DO want 7, not 6 in bayes_file_mode.. it's really a mask, and it's sometimes used on directories.)
