Hello, I am running spamassassin 3.2.3 on a Debian etch system (volatile package, 3.2.3-0.volatile1).
Unfortunately bayes filtering works quite unreliably and in /var/log/mail.log I get messages like Mar 26 22:16:59 bokomoko spamd[10337]: spamd: connection from localhost [127.0.0.1] at port 60747 Mar 26 22:16:59 bokomoko spamd[10337]: spamd: setuid to Debian-exim succeeded Mar 26 22:16:59 bokomoko spamd[10337]: bayes: cannot open bayes databases /home/rd/.spamassassin/bayes_* R/W: tie failed: Permission denied Mar 26 22:16:59 bokomoko spamd[10337]: spamd: processing message <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> aka <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> for Debian-exim:104 Mar 26 22:16:59 bokomoko spamd[10337]: bayes: cannot open bayes databases /home/rd/.spamassassin/bayes_* R/W: tie failed: Permission denied Mar 26 22:17:05 bokomoko spamd[10337]: spamd: clean message (-0.7/5.2) for Debian-exim:104 in 5.5 seconds, 6326 bytes.

Any idea which might help me to debug this issue is very welcome...
