I know this might seem like an odd request for those of you with
tons of disk space available so please be kind. I'm running
SpamAssassin version 3.0.2. For server space reasons (I'm a user on
this system not root), I need to relocate auto-whitelist,
bayes_journal, bayes_seen and bayes_toks which resides in the
default ~/.spamassassin directory to another device. With Linux you
can't simply do a link ('ln') across devices, so the files need to
actually be moved. I want to leave user_prefs in he default
~/.spamassassin. What is the best way to move these files without
messing up the successful running operation of SA?
Thanks in advance,

Use auto_whitelist_path and bayes_path in your local.cf file to tell
SA where to find the files after moving them.
Ah, the local.cf file, of course! Thanks! Here I was thinking
something needed to be re-built.
So something as simple as this (see below) being added to the bottom
of the local.cf file is all that is needed for SA 3.02 to find it?
auto_whitelist_path /bigdisk/safiles
bayes_path /bigdisk/safiles
Yup. That should be all. At risk of stating the obvious, you should
probably stop spamd before moving the files to avoid any chance of
corruption.
I assume I can keep the permission for /safiles at chmod 700 too?
Mode 700 is the default, so should be fine as long as the spamd user is
the owner (again with the obvious!)
Thanks,
