Hi Matt, I don�t know if I�m doing this correctly?
I followed the steps by Steven Stern, on 14 Jul 2004. 1. Create /var/spool/spamassassin, chown "root:nobody", chmod 774. 2. Move all files from /root/.spamassassin into the above and set ownership to root:nobody 3. Edit /etc/mail/spamassassin/local.cf and add auto_whitelist_path /private/var/imap/.spamassassin/auto_whitelist Bayes_path /private/var/imap/.spamassassin/bayes Then I checked the sa-learn �dump magic, I have 0.000 0 173 0 non-token data:nspam 0.000 0 1100 0 non-token data:nham After half and hour and I checked again, those data did increase. So, I assume it�s working. I�m just wondering I didn�t remove any of those .spamassassin directories. It looks like the one with cyrus as the owner is active. The modified date do change on those files. But the files in /var/spool/spamassassin are not being updated, which I chown to "root:nobody" I guess I don�t understand why change of ownership on the inactive .spamassassin would make a difference? Thanks. Eleanor --- Matt Kettler <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > At 02:10 PM 8/11/2004, E Cheung wrote: > >I don't know why those data don't change when I > have > >set the autolearn on.
