SA-learn is it a problem
Hi Whenever I run sa-learn it claims to learn from every message regardless of whether its being run immediately after being run on the same folder. Is this normal or is this a problem ?

Is this normal or is this a problem ? That would seem to be a problem. It shouldn't relearn from the same message.. are you using SQL based bayes, or the default db_file based bayes? If db_file, is your bayes_seen file being updated when you run sa-learn?

If db_file, is your bayes_seen file being updated when you run sa-learn? I am using standard db_file based bayes as far as I was aware. I cant find a bayes_seen file anywhere on my system, where should it be ? Ben
Re: SA-learn is it a problem
By default: ~/.spamassassin/bayes_seen (ie: inside the .spamassassin subdierctory of your home directory) I found it I assume. Its in /home/.spamassassin/spamassassin_seen .spamassassin_seen is not getting updated .spamassasin_toks is getting updated Ben
