I am trying to add bayes to SA. I see in the docs that there is a
use_bayes parm and the path parm. I made the changes to
/usr/share/spamassassin/local.cf. But I see no change. I am not sure
it's even loading that config file. I've got debug on, and the log
doesn't tell me that it's reading the local.cf file I'm changing.
I think I need to go back to the basics. I simply want a 100% site-wide
SA (no per-user anything). I've read of the config docs. It describes
every parameter. But it doesn't really put the big picture together. Is
there a "SpamAssassin for Dummies" doc that describes the command line
args for 'site-wide-only' and also which config file (local.cf?) in
which folder I should be changing?
The initial install of SA on AWS Linux EC2 has a SPAMDOPTIONS="-d -c -m5
-H". I was told a few months back in this forum that -H without a
parameter following is not even valid and it applies to per-user stuff.
So I removed the -H. I read that -c creates a user pref file which
sounds like per-user. So I removed that. But the log is telling me it's
loading files from /etc/mail which I thought the docs said was per-user
stuff. Basically, I can't figure out how to make any config changes
that are actually seen by SA.
So... questions:
-- first just to make SA run as 'site-wide-only', should the
command line args be "-d -m5"? (or do I really need to go back to "-d -c
-m5 -H"?
-- What file should I be changing to adjust config? If it's indeed
/usr/share/spamassassin/local.cf, is there something I can change in
there that I can force something in the log file to assure me that
config parms are really being pulled from here?
-- Shouldn't "use_bayes 1" cause something to appear in the debug
log saying something about bayes now in use (and something about the
bayes_toks file)?
-- Finally, where should I put custom rule files such as KAM.cf so
they are used, but not erased with sa_update?
If all of this is explained in some user scenario docs, please point me
to them. It's just really tough getting the big picture here especially
when I can't get ANY config changes to make any difference.
Thx
