I've been googling quite a bit today to find the answer to what I'm
seeing that is happening on my mail server. However, I just can't seem
to find a definitive answer. When looking at my mail logs I see a number
of autolearn=spam, however when I run "sa-learn --dump magic" nspam does
not increment. If I run sa-learn manually, nspam increments. Is this
normal or should each autolearn=spam indicate that nspam should
increment by one.
I can only speculate this would have something to do with the user
autolearn is running against. I'm going to assume you are using MySQL as
you did not state. Have you tried going into MySQL and:
select count(*) from bayes_vars;
to see how many usernames are in the table?
Perhaps you can post the startup parameters spamd is using. Also how spamc
is being called (if that is the case). That may shed more light on why you
are getting the results you are.
Here is my local.cf file as it pertains to bayes and autolearn:
use_bayes 1
bayes_auto_learn 1
bayes_ignore_header X-Bogosity
bayes_ignore_header X-Spam-Flag
bayes_ignore_header X-Spam-Status
You do not need to include the X-Spam-* header fields as they are
stripped before learning.
