Hi, Spamassassin is running as user spamass. I wrote these Bash scripts that learn from spam in users' IMAP folder (.SPAM); howver, this script runs as root and then copies the bayes filters ... where? Into a .spamassassin directory in spamass's $HOME?
By default, yes.
I ask because I tried that and I'm not sure it's working. I also tried bayes_path in /etc/mail/spamassassin/local.cf and that doesn't do much.
One word of warning.. read the docs on bayes_path very carefuly. The parameter to bayes_path isn't just a path.
ie:
bayes_path /var/spamassassin/bayes
Will cause the file /var/spamassassin/bayes_toks to be created and not /var/spamassassin/bayes/bayes_toks... Note that the last part of bayes_path isn't a directory, but the prefix of the filenames.
Any hints?
spamassassin --lint should point out most syntax errors in config files.. check with it first.
From there spamassassin -D --lint should tell you what bayes files SA is using. Along with a bunch of other debug output.
