I enabled auto_learn about two months ago, and yet when I run spamassassin -D on
a message, I get:

debug: bayes: 29638 tie-ing to DB file R/O /var/spool/spamassassin/bayes_toks
debug: bayes: 29638 tie-ing to DB file R/O /var/spool/spamassassin/bayes_seen
debug: bayes: found bayes db version 2
debug: bayes: Not available for scanning, only 0 spam(s) in Bayes DB < 200
debug: bayes: 29638 untie-ing
debug: bayes: 29638 untie-ing db_toks
debug: bayes: 29638 untie-ing db_seen

Since we get about 600 incoming messages per day of which around 50 are scored
10+, and 20 scored between 5 and 10, I'd expect to see this number be non-zero
by now....

The relevant parts of my sa-mimedefang.cf are:

use_bayes 1
auto_learn 1
bayes_path /var/spool/spamassassin/bayes
bayes_file_mode 0666

The bayes stuff looks like this:

localhost:/var/spool/spamassassin# ls -al
total 24
drwxr-xr-x    2 root     root         4096 Feb 17 12:29 .
drwxr-xr-x   14 root     root         4096 Jan 19 17:30 ..
-rw-rw-rw-    1 defang   root         4096 Jan 19 18:36 bayes_seen
-rw-rw-rw-    1 defang   root        20480 Jan 19 18:36 bayes_toks

What's missing?

Best Wishes,

Paul.
