Ok - how do I tell sa-learn to update the system database rather than the DB under my home directory? I've read the sa-learn man page, and there doesn't seem to be any appropriate switch. One way (reading the man page for Mail::SpamAssassin::Conf) would be to simply point the global SA bayes_path to my own ~/.spamassassin directory... Or I could create a special user, always run sa-learn as that user, and point bayes_path to that user's .spamassassin directory (after pre-loading the DB as you suggest). Is there a Right Way? The bayes stuff still seems to be used even when allow_user_rules is false. On the other hand, bayes_path is one of the items that (according to man Mail::SpamAssassin::Conf) cannot be set within a user_prefs file. Which seems mean that the bayes DB location "~/.spamassassin" is effectively hardcoded and immutable :-( Regards, K. -- ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Karl Auer ([EMAIL PROTECTED]) +61-2-64957160 (h) http://www.biplane.com.au/~kauer/ +61-428-957160 (mob)
