update- after readng more docs ;-) I have verified that SA is active and reachable from my acct. using SA < sampleMsg.txt. Debug shows that the Bayes filter is not being used, because debug: cannot use bayes on this message; db not initialised yet
I just db_dump'd and db_loaded bayes_toks, same error. However, the result _is_ scored and marked. Razor2 is found, apparently. pyzor is not found, apparently. my user_prefs is working, 'cause my lowered score to 4 is acknowledged. spamassassin --lint comes back clear [no output] aside from fixing the bayes and pyzor, what I really want to do is just have the thing run at all. For that, the theory of operation would be helpful (newb warning) So I have a file in /var/mail/xxxuser. It is rw for owner and group. I want to run the SA filter on it, periodically. Whatever is set up now, is not working. spamd has something to do with this... How to proceed ? thanks in advance -brian --- Brian Hamlin <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > Date: Sun, 25 Jun 2006 00:46:29 -0700 (PDT) > From: Brian Hamlin <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> > Subject: Detecting active config as a user > To: users@spamassassin.apache.org > > Hello All- > My primary mail acct is hosted on a legacy Soalis > 5.8 sun box, with SA 2.6 installed.
