RE: No dbs present modules not installed
SpamAssassin does not appear to be adding anything to any emails at all. I do not know where in our mail chain SpamAssassin was being called (but I guess I'll have to figure it out). We use qmail and clamav with SA. I'll have to go through the boot process step by step to see if I can figure out where SA gets called. If you are familiar with this setup though, any tips to narrow down my search would be appreciated.

There needs to be some part of your mail chain configured to call spamassassin, or spamc, or load the Mail::SpamAssassin perl API and feed messages to it. (and unless you're using spamc, running spamd is pointless)
RE: No dbs present modules not installed
We do have Simscan installed which I believe is supposed to do what you say and call SpamAssassin. Now all I need to do is find out where.

You want to examine your email process, starting with where mail gets received. With Qmail, you might want to look at Qmail's queuing stuff, or look for signs of simscan or QmailScanner, but I'm no Qmail expert. Some ways of integrating SA into qmail are detailed at: http://wiki.apache.org/spamassassin/IntegratedInQmailWithIfspamh http://wiki.apache.org/spamassassin/IntegratedInQmailWithQmailScanner And simscan's site is at: http://www.inter7.com/simscan/

RE: No dbs present modules not installed
Thanks. Good to know that some of those modules are optional.
SpamAssassin was already in place on our server when I started working here.
But sometime after the old Network Admin left, it stopped flagging our
emails.
If bayes is optional for SA, then I could change use_bayes 1 to use_bayes 0
in local.cf and comment out the other bayes_ classifier options and it
should work?

Hmm, that's odd. How did you integrate it into your mail system? (ie:
just having spamd running doesn't do anything at all)
*I get the following info when running spamassassin -lint:*

*And the following info when running -lint -D:*

[5563] dbg: diag: module not installed: DBI ('require' failed)
I have two questions:
1) Are these modules required in order for SpamAssassin to run
properly? Just running -lint doesn't say anything about them. If so,
how do I install them (I'm a FreeBSD/SpamAssassin newbie)
No. read the INSTALL document that comes with SpamAssassin under
Optional modules
http://svn.apache.org/repos/asf/spamassassin/branches/3.2/INSTALL
2) The bayes_journal, bayes_seen, bayes_toks files are in
/usr/local/vpopmail/.spamassassin but in our local.cf file, the
bayes_path is set to /usr/local/etc/mail/spamassassin/.bayes which is
an empty directory. Even if I change the bayes_path to
/usr/local/vpopmail/.spamassassin, I still get the message no dbs
present when running -lint -D. What am I doing wrong?
You don't have DBI installed, therefore no databases can be supported.
Bayes is optional for SA, so DBI is optional.
Is it just a matter of running sa-learn -sync? But then it still
doesn't seem like the bayes_path is pointing to the right spot.
I know that this issue has come up many times before and I have spent
several days reading posts and web sites but I have not found the
answer that I am looking for. I was hoping someone on this list could
help.
