I have spamassassin installed on our mail server. On my account it seems to be working fine, messages often get thrown in my Junk folder based on my rules. If I look at them they will always have a Bayesian score (Very often 1.0000).
My friend's account is on the same system and he also has spamassassin set up to filter email. He gets a lot more spam and puts it in a special folder, which he daily runs "sa-learn --spam --mbox" on. The weird thing is that spamassassin never seems to attach a bayesian score to the email. I've looked at the headers from both his spam and his ham and his misclassified ham, and none of them seem to ever have a bayesian score of any type, not even BAYES_50 or something neutral. Is there anything I'm missing to "turn on" bayesian filtering? Our configuration files are identical and we both have the bayesian files in the .spamassassin directory, bayes_seen and bayes_toks. The biggest difference is that I have a file "bayes_journal" that he doesn't have. Please help me figure out what's wrong. Or help me know what to do so I can figure out what's wrong. Thank you, John Broadhead
