Yeah, I read that the first time. It is wrong. In fact, I'd say it's
stupid.
I'll go edit the wiki article when I get a chance, but I want to have
some time to really sit down and do an extensive rewrite there. There's
a lot of facts that should be there, which aren't.
If nothing else, there needs to be NO OTHER FILES starting with "bayes"
in your /etc/mail/spamassassin for that to work! If you've got a
bayes_rescore.cf in there, you're going to break.
Also, /etc/ isn't intended to store data that changes constantly. It is
completely contrary to the Unix philosophy to store a database here.
Therefore, using all possible strength, and all possible expertise that
my position as a member of the SpamAssassin Project Management Committee
conveys, I strongly advise not following the advice of that wiki
article. At least as far as using "bayes_path
/etc/mail/spamassassin/bayes".
I believe its hardware related, as other machines work fine.
It could be rights related.. what are the permissions on
/etc/mail/spamassassin/? Is it world rwx (dangerous!)?
It could also be related to a file starting with bayes in there that's
not a part of the bayes DB..
ls /etc/mail/spamassassin/bayes*
Is there anything but bayes_seen, bayes_toks and bayes_journal?
Does anyone else have any tweaks for global bayes ?
Yeah, put it in its own directory, and not in /etc/.
