Still not doing something right. Even after editing /etc/mail/spamassassin/local.cf to include the bayes_path (after having created the directories) and restarting spamd, still only /root/.spamassassing/bayes stuff gets updates with sa-learn. The new directory stays empty. Spamd seems to have been invoked as root (ps aux | grep spam). I'll have to review the setup as I thought it was to be the specific user I created. joe a.
