Things are basically working, but you don't seem to have network test
enabled, and you haven't trained enough ham/spam messages yet for Bayes
to kick in.
If you are starting SA using spamd, check for a -L parameter on the
command line and remove it. That should enable network tests for you,
and probably will help a lot.
The exact startup configuration is
/usr/sbin/spamd -D -m 20 -v -u vpopmail -d --round-robin -x -d
--pidfile=/var/run/spamd.pid
To get Bayes working, you need to train it with at least 200 each ham
and spam messages. Once it has that many messages it will start to feel
confident about adding to the score.

I have done an sa-learn --showdots --spam . in a folder full of spam. I
would have expected it to add entries into the bayes database but it
still says there are only 5 emails in the bayes.

First thing first. Could you run a spamassassin -D --lint as the
user which is scanning the email, and post the results please. This
will allow people to diagnose the problem more easily.

Hello,
I have recently installed spamassassin on my new ubuntu distribution
from the apt package. I seem to be having issues where emails that are
obviously spam are not being marked.
X-Spam-Status: No, score=0.0 required=5.0 tests=none autolearn=no
version=3.1.7-deb
Is in the headers of the email but the content of the email has URLs
which are in the blacklists, If I forward these emails to my ISP
account
which has its own spam solution they get marked.
Here is the body of the email

Hello, share
Don't have time for a full time relationship?
Many young career minded people don't but still want a physical
relationship,
many of these need sexual encounters but without the frustrating
attachment of a boyfriend or girlfriend.
This means they have time to concentrate on their profession/career and
not worry about
what is going on at home, as essentially they are single.
This is commonly becoming known as a

I have removed the geocities URL so that it wont potentially be marked

I had previously being using the rules from saupdates.openprotect.com
but I have stopped using that service while I try and diagnose this
problem. With or without the rules I have exactly the same issues.
One line I am constantly seeing in the mail.log file is the following
Mar 28 09:09:34 poopey spamd[21715]: config: copying current conf from
backup
does that have any reference on the problem?
I also see the following
Mar 28 09:10:23 poopey spamd[21716]: bayes: not available for scanning,
only 5 spam(s) in bayes DB 50
I find that a little strange as I have done an sa-learn for both ham
and
spam emails on folders which I have moved all the spam messages to.
Any advice on resolving or how to diagnose these problems would be
greatly appreciated.
Regards,
Jimmy.
