Restored my last copy of my manually learned bayes database from the "bad" directory to the new location. Let it cook for a day. Of the messages that made it through postscreen, RBLs, etc since my logs rotated early this morning, 93% were autolearn=no, 2% autolearn=spam, 5% autolearn=ham. ZERO autolearn=unavailable.
This is solved. Summary for posterity for anyone who may run into the same problem. Some tags for searching: Centos7 (selinux disabled at the time of testing) Postfix 3.2.2 Amavisd-new amavisd amavis 2.11.0 Spamassassin 3.4.0 bayes autolearn=unavailable I strongly suspected bayes auto-learn was not functioning. Read the thread for evidence. In local.cf had the bayes path set to: /etc/mail/bayes/bayes Don't remember if it came packaged that way or if I followed someone else's "guide" to ed up with that bad location. I do see one well written guide that specified that folder, honestly I'm not sure. No matter. In any case, the end result was that any message that would have been autolearned got "autolearn=unavailable" and did not learn. The fix for this setup as listed above was to NOT have the directory under /etc. Even with wide open (777) write permissions, amavisd/SA was apparently unable to write there. I moved the bayes database under /var/spool/amavisd/bayes and all now functions properly. Note the default if no path is specified is /var/spool/amavisd/.spamassassin/bayes IIRC (assuming /var/spool/amavisd is the home directory for amavis) I tested both, it appears happy with either. local.cf: bayes_path /var/spool/amavisd/bayes/bayes I now have a journal file FWIW: [root@mail2 root]# ls -la /var/spool/amavisd/bayes total 4280 drwx------ 2 amavis amavis 4096 Aug 11 16:07 . drwxr-xr-x 7 amavis amavis 4096 Aug 10 22:18 .. -rw-rw-rw- 1 amavis amavis 81888 Aug 11 16:07 bayes_journal -rw-rw-rw- 1 amavis amavis 86016 Aug 11 16:07 bayes_seen -rw-rw-rw- 1 amavis amavis 5267456 Aug 11 16:07 bayes_toks And my database is happy: [root@mail2 root]# su amavis -c 'sa-learn --dump magic' 0.000 0 3 0 non-token data: bayes db version 0.000 0 359 0 non-token data: nspam 0.000 0 494 0 non-token data: nham 0.000 0 149970 0 non-token data: ntokens I now know way more about amavis-new and spamassassin than I did when I started. Guess that's the silver lining to a few days of hair pulling.
