A bit more data- lo & behold, I checked the log files, and here is what they say: ####################################################### Sep 13 21:19:37 anw-dev spamd[17910]: bayes: cannot open bayes databases /home/anw/.spamassassin/bayes_* R/O: tie failed: Sep 13 21:20:37 anw-dev last message repeated 5 times Sep 13 21:24:41 anw-dev spamd[17910]: bayes: cannot open bayes databases /home/anw/.spamassassin/bayes_* R/O: tie failed: Sep 13 21:24:41 anw-dev last message repeated 2 times Sep 13 21:24:41 anw-dev spamd[17910]: bayes: cannot open bayes databases /home/anw/.spamassassin/bayes_* R/W: tie failed: Inappropriate ioctl for device Sep 13 21:35:55 anw-dev spamd[17910]: bayes: cannot open bayes databases /home/anw/.spamassassin/bayes_* R/O: tie failed: Sep 13 21:35:55 anw-dev last message repeated 2 times Sep 13 21:35:55 anw-dev spamd[17910]: bayes: cannot open bayes databases /home/anw/.spamassassin/bayes_* R/W: tie failed: Inappropriate ioctl for device Sep 13 21:39:57 anw-dev spamd[17910]: bayes: cannot open bayes databases /home/anw/.spamassassin/bayes_* R/O: tie failed: ######################################################### So, evidently, it can't find my bayes database. So, since I want to use a system-wide database, where is it (/usr/share/spamassassin?, which has a lot of likely looking files in it), and how do I tell spamd to use it? This directory has a lot of bayes, razor, pyzor, etc. filenames in it, and this could be my problem. -- Thanks and regards, Allen Williams Office: +1.321.309.7931 Mobile: +1.321.258.1272
