Typically Bayes is not the only thing that determines if a message is blocked or not (but it can help push the score toward that goal). >> Same issue with the ham messages.

Assuming you are using standard DB based Bayes, remember that you should always learn messages as the amavisd-new user and debug as the amavis user also. The Bayes files must also be owned by the amavis user or you will not be able to write to them. Let's say your amavis user is 'amavis': See how many spam (nspam) and ham (nham) are in the database (under the amavis user): su amavis -c 'sa-learn --dump magic' or: sudo -H -u amavis sa-learn --dump magic Debug bayes as the amavis user: (get a sample from me if you need one): wget http://www200.pair.com/mecham/spam/sample-spam.txt su amavis -c 'spamassassin -D bayes < sample-spam.txt' or: sudo -H -u amavis spamassassin -D bayes < sample-spam.txt Also something like: su amavis -c 'sa-learn -D --spam < sample-spam.txt' See if debug shows any problems. If you are using a recent version of amavisd-new you can run it in debug-sa mode and limit some of the output: amavisd stop amavisd -d bayes debug-sa don't forget to start amavisd back up when you are finished. Also look at the X-Spam-Status headers and see if any BAYES rules hit: X-Spam-Status: No, score=-2.564-9 required=5 tests=[BAYES_00=-2.599, FORGED_RCVD_HELO=0.135, L_P0F_Linux=-0.1] Gary V ------------------------------------------------------------------------- Take Surveys.
