Hi Peter,

Have a look here 
(https://spamassassin.apache.org/full/3.1.x/doc/sa-learn.html).


In the 'OPTIONS' section is a good description of what each provides.

Very generic question about teaching spamassassin:

If one runs sa-learn against a maildir folder for learning more spam,
should that folder:

a) contain messages that spamassasin has failed to classify spam

or

b) contain messages that spamassasin has failed to classify spam AND
messages that spamassasin has succeeded in classifying as spam

and if the answer is b) does then I suppose it does not matter that
the subjects of the messages contain the *** SPAM *** prefix?

Same thing goes for ham: should I teach sa against ham classified
wrongly as spam only or include correctly identified ham as well?

Here's my set up:

I had to

# mkdir /etc/spamassassin/.spamassassin

# chown vchkpw:vpopmail drwxr-xr-x    2 vpopmail vchkpw 20480 Oct  4 
05:57 .spamassassin


# ls -l /etc/spamassassin/

...

drwxr-xr-x    2 vpopmail vchkpw 20480 Oct  4 05:57 .spamassassin

...

# vi /etc/spamassassin/local.cf (Add settings below)

use_auto_whitelist 1
auto_whitelist_file_mode 0700
auto_whitelist_path /etc/spamassassin/.spamassassin/auto-whitelist

use_bayes 1
use_bayes_rules 1
bayes_auto_learn 1
bayes_path /etc/spamassassin/.spamassassin/bayes
bayes_auto_learn_threshold_spam 6.0
bayes_file_mode 0700

# restart spamd

See if bayes is working

# spamassassin --lint -D

Look for these lines
