I assume you are running this as user 'john'. For some reason you don't have permission to write to the /home/john/.spamassassin directory. As root: chown john.john /home/john chown -R john.john /home/john/.spamassassin chmod u+rwx,g+rx /home/john /home/john/.spamassassin Now run the sa-learn command as user 'john'. I don't know what directory your mail is kept in. I use Courier maildirs. So my INBOX is /home/bill/Maildir/cur and /home/bill/Maildir/new.
