Thanks for jumping-in here, Kris.

Yes, I do have the following in my SA local.cf:

bayes_sql_override_username amavis

So, all users are sharing the same Bayes DB. I train Bayes daily and the
token count, etc., etc. all look good and correct.

Just a quick update to my previous post.

The Pyzor and Razor2 score information is indeed coming through for the
handful of messages that have landed since I made those configuration
changes. So, all seems to be well on the Pyzor / Razor2 front.

However, I still don't see any evidence that Bayes testing was performed
on the messages that are "slipping through".

It bears mention that *most* messages do indeed show evidence of Bayes
scoring.

--- OH, SNAP! I found the root cause. ---

Well, when I went to confirm the above statement, regarding most
messages showing evidence of Bayes scoring, I realized that *none* show
evidence of it since 3/23! No wonder all of this garbage is slipping
through!

I recognized the date 3/23 immediately; it was the date on which we
upgraded ISPConfig from 3.0.4.6 to 3.0.5. (For those who have no
knowledge of ISPConfig, it is basically a FOSS solution to managing vast
numbers of websites, domains, mailboxes, etc., as the name implies.)

We also updated OS packages (security only) on that day.

After diff-ing all of the relevant service configuration files
(amavis-new, spamassassin, postfix, dovecot, etc.) I couldn't find any
discrepancies.

Then, I tried:

# spamassassin -D -t < /tmp/msg.txt 2>&1 | egrep '(bayes:|whitelist:|AWL)'

-----------------------------------------------------

Check-out the message buried half-way down:

bayes: tok_get_all: SQL error: Illegal mix of collations for operation '
IN '

I have run into this unsightly message before, but in that case, I could
see the entire query, which enabled me to change the collations accordingly.

In this case, I have no idea what the original query might have been.

Further, I have no idea what changed that introduced this problems on 3/23.

Was it a MySQL upgrade? Was it an ISPConfig change?

Has anybody else run into this?

Thanks again,

-Ben
