Take a piece of spam, transfer it to the server, make it readable by
user 'spamd', login (or "su") as user 'spamd' and run the following
command:
sa-learn -D --spam --file spam-example.txt
Where 'spam-example.txt' is the file that contains your example
spam message. This should produce a whole bunch of lines of output,
one of them being: "Learned from 1 message(s) (1 message(s) examined)."
If not, look for error messages in that bunch of stuff.
One suggestion, if you're running Bayes site wide (particularly on
a busy server) turn on journaling, it will help to avoid file locking
problems. Add the following line to your config file:
bayes_learn_to_journal 1
