[Mimedefang] Cannot get spamassassin to use bayes

[Oliver Schulze L.]

Hi,
then the user mailnull must have access to that file, try this:
su mailnull -c touch /usr/etc/mail/spamassassin_test1

The problem is that with that bayes_path option, SA will create these files:
/usr/local/etc/mail/spamassassin_journal 
/usr/local/etc/mail/spamassassin_seen 
/usr/local/etc/mail/spamassassin_toks

If you want to create inside a directory, use this option:
bayes_path /usr/etc/mail/spamassassin/bayes
Then,
mkdir -p /usr/etc/mail/spamassassin/
and
su mailnull -c touch /usr/etc/mail/spamassassin/bayes_test1

and you will end up having these files:
/usr/local/etc/mail/spamassassin/bayes_journal 
/usr/local/etc/mail/spamassassin/bayes_seen 
/usr/local/etc/mail/spamassassin/bayes_toks
