Ownership of /var/.spamassassin should remail root:root but it should be world readable/writeable. You don't say whether your system is multi-user or single-user. Either way, when mail is received, ownership of those files is changed to that of the mail received. Mine are: -rwxrwxrwx2 root root 908561 Sep 7 11:47 auto-whitelist.dir -rwxrwxrwx2 root root 908561 Sep 7 11:47 auto-whitelist.pag -rw-rw-rw-1 raquel raquel 41727 Sep 7 11:47 bayes_journal -rwxrwxrwx1 root root 1335296 Sep 7 11:47 bayes_seen -rw-rw-rw-1 raquel raquel5513216 Sep 7 11:47 bayes_toks -- Raquel The person born with a talent they are meant to use will find their greatest happiness in using it. --Johann Wolfgang Von Goethe

Cannot write to journal and others
I have three questions regarding mail log excerpt at end of post. 1. Can't write to bayes_journal, Bayes db update ignored - My Bayes stuff is in /var/.spamassassin as shown below. Here's the pertinent portion of local.cf: use_bayes 1 bayes_path /var/.spamassassin/bayes bayes_file_mode 0777 bayes_auto_learn_threshold_nonspam 0.10 bayes_auto_learn_threshold_spam 7.00 bayes_auto_learn 1 Why can't it write to the journal with the mode 0777 set? I've used the same configuration on Fedora Core 1 and 2 - current distro is Debian testing (Sarge). In /var/.spamassassin, I have _toks and _seen files, but no journal. Should I touch a journal file?? (Grasping here...) Any help appreciated. 2. The second question might relate to the first. I'm not auto-learning -anything-. I get a lot of ham and spam with extreme scores - something should be learned. Will fixing the first problem solve this one? 3. Can someone explain the qmgr entries below? I don't remember seeing thoe before.
