I would ... except that I have a cold, am on anti-cold drugs that don't
mix with beer, am out of London (since it isn't during the working
week), and have guests.

Otherwise, I'd be there like a shot.

I am going to be in Paddington station in 45 minutes, with 2 hours

I think maybe the communication channel is the problem. So sure, there  
are

lots of people on the list but it's a single list. And it's predicated
on people being in front of email. So you need to be multi-channel
for a start. In Amsterdam I had an "APB" list on my phone that I could  
SMS

and generally procure at least half a dozen for drinks. And there's
that facebook thing. Oh, and twitter, though now they've killed the
SMS's it's less immediate.

Then think cross-network. According to the network graphing doofer
on Facebook I have several main networks: London geeks, musicians
and Avon type people.

In your case you probably have others not on l.pm so they need to be
reached. I'm sure Byzantine historians like beer too.

sa-learn and different parh

[Massimiliano Marini]

Hi all,

my SA version: 3.2.4

when launching this command, I noticed that the files are updated in
two different folders.

user: root
foo:~# sa-learn --sync --spam --mbox /home/foo/spam.mbox

/root/.spamassassin/bayes_seen
/root/.spamassassin/bayes_toks

/home/spamassassin/.spamassassin/auto-whitelist
/home/spamassassin/.spamassassin/bayes_journal

Why? I don't think it's the right way.

My local.cf:

rewrite_header Subject SPAM(_SCORE_)
report_safe 0
required_score 4.0

## I've tried to uncomment and re-launch spamd but don't work
#bayes_path /etc/mail/spamassassin/bayes
#bayes_file_mode 0770

use_bayes 1
bayes_auto_learn 1
bayes_auto_expire 0
bayes_learn_to_journal 1
bayes_journal_max_size 0
