The short answer is, you can tell if bayes is being used because (almost) every message will hit a BAYES_XX rule for some value of XX. The exceptions will be messages with blank bodies, or which are unsuitable for bayes-checking for some other reason. But even a Bayes-neutral text should fire BAYES_50. That said, there are at least two problems with your bayes_path. First, it ends in a directory name. Read the documentation for bayes_path to understand why this is wrong... it's not really a "path", despite the name. It's a path and a filename prefix. So /root/.spamassassin/bayes is more likely to be what you want. Second, the spamd user likely doesn't have write access to /root/.spamassassin/ -- if it does, that's a problem. Make a directory like /etc/mail/spamassassin/bayes/, chown it to the spamd user, and set bayes_path to /etc/mail/spamassassin/bayes/bayes (note the double "bayes" there) -- Matthew.van.Eerde (at) hbinc.com 805.964.4554 x902 Hispanic Business Inc./HireDiversity.com Software Engineer
