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


I think that should be:

bayes_path /path/to/.spamassassin/bayes

and the bayes dir should contain your bayes_journal, bayes_seen and bayes_toks files.


Oops - see John's reply - it's not a 'bayes' directory, but a prefix to the bayes_* files in /path/to/.spamassassin. Sorry, my mistake.

Keep training Bayes with a good selection of spam and ham. My Bayes is 99% effective at catching spam with less than 1% falling in the middle as uncategorised.
