[Mimedefang] Re: Bayesian analysis not working

[Ken Morley]

Daniel:

You probably cannot login as "defang" (usually a nologin user) and it's not
necessary anyway.

Make very sure that the bayes files are owned by defang and set the mode to
644.

If you can run sa-learn, you are close, so this may be all it takes to fix.

Good luck!
