Hello, I have a new server where I installed Spamassassin. Next, I took a maildir with a lot of spam and learned the filter:
sa-learn --spam --showdots /path/to/maildir As I understand it, this creates a bayes database in my home directory under .spamassassin Now, I added the line bayes_path /path/to/.spamassassin in /etc/mail/spamassassin/local.cf and restarted the spamd: /etc/init.d/spamd restart Burt then, I get the error: [3936] info: config: SpamAssassin failed to parse line, "/path/to/.spamassassin" is not valid for "bayes_path", skipping: bayes_path /path/to/.spamassassin So, there is something wrong and as I see it, the training has no effect on SA, to be honest, it recognizes only the half of the spam ... Thanks for any hints, Tom
