I'm trying to activate bayesian analysis.
My /etc/mail/spamassassin/sa-mimedefang.cf:
required_hits 7
ok_locales en
rewrite_subject 0
report_header 1
skip_rbl_checks 0
use_bayes 1
auto_learn 1
bayes_path /var/spool/MIMEDefang/bayes
bayes_file_mode 0666
auto_whitelist_path /var/spool/MIMEDefang/auto_whitelist
auto_whitelist_file_mode 0666
bayes_min_ham_num 20
bayes_min_spam_num 20
Spamassassin is working, minus bayesian analysis. I get the following 2
lines in all email:
X-Spam-Score: 0.675 () HOME_EMPLOYMENT,WORK_AT_HOME
X-Scanned-By: MIMEDefang 2.38
But nothing about bayesian analysis.
With the above settings, I have the following in /var/spool/MIMEDefang:
proto MIMEDefang # ls -l

I created the 2 directories 'auto_whitelist' and 'bayes', but instead of using them, things seem to get dumped in the top-level directory.
Also when I run 'sa-learn' the bayes files above get created by root, so I chown then to defang. I assume there is a better way of doing this?
Maybe running sa-learn as the defang user?
Anyway, I have run 'sa-learn' and learned about 50 spam messages, and a couple of hundred ham messages.
What else should I be looking for?
