As far as your problems with the file locations go, the bayes_path and the auto_whitelist_path define the full path, including the file name, to the bayes and whitelist databases.

In other words, you want to define the full path and file name for each of those settings:
bayes_path /var/spool/MIMEDefang/bayes/bayesdb
auto_whitelist_path /var/spool/MIMEDefang/auto_whitelist/auto_whitelist


Where "bayesdb" is the filename for the bayes database, and auto_whitelist is the filename for the auto_whitelist.

Spamassassin is working, minus bayesian analysis. I get the following 2 lines in all email:

X-Spam-Score: 0.675 () HOME_EMPLOYMENT,WORK_AT_HOME
X-Scanned-By: MIMEDefang 2.38

But nothing about bayesian analysis.

With the above settings, I have the following in /var/spool/MIMEDefang:
proto MIMEDefang # ls -l

I created the 2 directories 'auto_whitelist' and 'bayes', but instead of using them, things seem to get dumped in the top-level directory.
Also when I run 'sa-learn' the bayes files above get created by root, so I chown then to defang. I assume there is a better way of doing this?
Maybe running sa-learn as the defang user?


Anyway, I have run 'sa-learn' and learned about 50 spam messages, and a couple of hundred ham messages.

What else should I be looking for?
