I'll have to investigate this, I guess. I recall researching whether it should 
run as root or not, but there seemed to be arguments both ways. Like I said, 
Linux isn't my first love, or even a close friend, so I'll need to go find out 
even how the service is started from what obscure text file and fix that, since 
SA is still complaining about the user_prefs file.

You're right, I did miss that. Corrected and now I'm seeing bayes referenced in 
the log now. Not sure if it's actually working correctly as I see 
"bayes=1.000000,autolearn=no autolearn_force=no" every email now. Here's some 
log:

Seems like the BAYES_99,BAYES_999 entries means it's doing something. BTW, 
thanks for being patient with me and for the help!
