You need to teach it as the MIMEDefang user (probably defang). Optionally,
you can set bayes_path in your SA config to define a single system-wide Bayes
database, and use bayes_file_mode to allow other users to update it.
For example, in /etc/mail/spamassassin/local.cf:
use_bayes 1
bayes_path /var/spool/spamassassin/bayes
bayes_file_mode 777
auto_learn 1
...with the directory /var/spool/spamassassin owned by defang. (Don't use 777
if you have local users you don't want messing with the database, though.)
