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?
