The --dbpath in > the sa-learn command is a path. Not exactly, if you specify a directory here then the default file prefix bayes is added automatically. > I guess it should be /var/spool/postfix/spamassassin/bayes_db/bayes Yes, if you omit the prefix here it's simply invalid and you fall back to a value of '~/.spamassassin/bayes'. The '-u amavis' argument to sa-learn is wrong too, as this specifies a virtual mail user, not a unix user to run as. If you are not using per unix user files under ~/ you need to run sa-learn as the user that owns the global files. Do not run with 'bayes_file_mode 0775' as suggested in the howto. This is an ugly and insecure kludge to allow unix users to share a single database. Don't test as root as it will mask problems with permissions.

I think I have it setup correctly. The reason for going sitewide is I thought that it would be easier. Silly me. I used to run a few virtual mail servers, so everything is setup using postfix's virtual mail server functionality. Now I'm down to one, so I could move it back to a non-virtual setup. Its a question of which causes less pain. I go years without mucking with it. Lately I've been inundated with spam. I just don't care that much about the latest diet, ED treatment, or what Storm Danniels is up to! And I've fully accepted that fact that pushing 60, I will never have the hair I had when I was 20. Thanks for your help.

The --dbpath in the sa-learn command is a path. I guess it should be /var/spool/postfix/spamassassin/bayes_db/bayes then? It still does not seem to be using bayes. When I run it on the command line, there is no mention of bayes: spamassassin -t Content analysis details: (7.4 points, 5.0 required) pts rule name description -- -- 2.5 URIBL_DBL_SPAM Contains a spam URL listed in the Spamhaus DBL blocklist [URIs: blondetournament.icu] 3.6 RCVD_IN_SBL_CSS RBL: Received via a relay in Spamhaus SBL-CSS [199.3.144.5 listed in zen.spamhaus.org] -0.0 SPF_HELO_PASS SPF: HELO matches SPF record 0.0 HTML_MESSAGE BODY: HTML included in message 0.1 DKIM_SIGNED Message has a DKIM or DK signature, not necessarily valid 0.0 T_DKIM_INVALID DKIM-Signature header exists but is not valid 1.3 RDNS_NONE Delivered to internal network by a host with no rDNS sa-learn ignores the bayes_path too. If I don't specify the --dbpath is makes the files in the user's .spamassassin directory. My mail users don't have home directories. Thanks, Andy
