One last thing. I went and found there reply to me from when I asked
about SA.
*/The config file is $HOME/.spamassassin/user_prefs
You can also use a local.cf file in the .spamassassin dir.
See http://spamassassin.org for more info regarding this, as our support
with SA is quite limited.>>

Also, I'm piping messages through a PHP script and the PHP script is
passing the message to SA for scanning. If there's someway to tell SA
at that time where to find the Bayes files that would help.
Thanks!

I THINK user. But that's what I was looking for confirmation on.
That's why I posted the details of the fact that I'm using a shared
hosting account.
<<Depends how you set it up.>>
Ok--so it can be configured to use MY bayesian training then. GOOD.
<<It sounds like you're a user on someone else's hosting though>>
Yes I am.

When I ask them anything about SA configuration, they point me to
spamassassin.apache.org. They have told me that I can use my own
userprefs file and told me where the file is.

Are you running SA as a user or as an admin?
If I use Bayesian filtering (I want to), will other users of my host's
system affect SA's learning? Or will it only read MINE? If I can allow it
Depends how you set it up.
to include other users training but have that carry a lower weight in the
decision process then that's what I'd like to do. But I don't want the
fact that someone else identified something as spam to carry as much weight
as MY identifying something as spam.
There's a single DB, either yours, or a site-wide DB.
Also when the host updates SA, will I need to re-train SA? I've read that
minor or maintenance updates don't need retrained, but what about major
upgrades? If so, will SA just stop working? Or will I just start
receiving more spam until I get it re-trained again?
So far, there's been no situation where an upgrade requires restarting with
Bayes, SA upgrades the DB formats and such.
It sounds like you're a user on someone else's hosting though -- I'd talk to
them about what their SA setup is and how you're expected to use it.
