I'm not sure about this, since I call spamc from a filter in KMail, so it runs under my UID. But it sounds like a FAQ. Exim can be configured every way under the sun-- can you tell it to run a filter as the user who's receiving the mail? e.g. call spamc -u $USER. > I'm wondering as I've been training SA for some time, and I'm not sure > it's taking advantage of what's in my ~/Home .spamassassin directory, > bayes_tok et al. A note about this: I was training SA for a long time, with several hundred ham and spam messages via a daily cron job, and it didn't seem to be learning. So I looked around, and found a note at the top of /usr/share/doc/spamassassin/README.Debian to the effect that on upgrading to perl 5.8, you have to delete all of your Bayes databases and recreate them using sa-learn. I did this, and presto, SA started to work like a charm. -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble? Contact [EMAIL PROTECTED]
