Theo, Thanks for the reply, and there may be some truth in that, but I'm not convinced that it is ever working correctly.
There have been NO spamd debug messages in the log since then, despite emails being scanned. There is never any message saying it actually found the Bayes data. I am not convinced that spamd has ever found it, or that it is ever actually being used. If I telnet to port 783 I do get spamd debug messages.
