Is there some reason you're unwilling or unable to use Bayes? If you
are getting these regularly, then training a few as spam would likely
catch most of the rest.
Hi,
I thought that Baynes was enabled. I have fed spam and ham into
sa-learn daily since February 2011. Of course, I might well have been
feeding data into a black hole if it is not working.
I enabled (I Thought) Baynes as per the local.cf below:-
use_bayes 1
bayes_auto_learn 1
bayes_expiry_max_db_size 300000
bayes_auto_expire 1
I read somewhere that this might explain what is into the dB. Not a
lot, really.
# sa-learn --dump magic
0.000 0 3 0 non-token data: bayes db version

nham and nspam = 0 Says it all :(

I read the entry on
http://wiki.apache.org/spamassassin/SiteWideBayesSetup, and it looks
like these are missing in my local.cf:
bayes_path /var/spamassassin/bayes/bayes
bayes_file_mode 0777
* QUESTION
Other than defining these entries (baynes_path baynes_file) into the
local.cf, and rerunning sa-learn, is there anything else I should do to get
this to work?
You don't need those entries at all. Most likely, your MTA (Exim most
likely) is running as a user other than root.
Set bayes_sql_override_username to the user name that your MTA is
running under
Example:
bayes_sql_override_username mailnull
Then access your Bayes MySQL database and open the bayes_vars table. It
should only contain one record if it's set up properly. Change the user
name to the same one you used above as well.
If you are using spamd, restart it and restart your MTA.

Lawrence
