Hi List,

SpamAssassin version 2.61

About a month ago I went from user bayes db's to a sitewide one.

I have been having suspicions that the sitewide bayes db wasn't either
being used or being updated.

Picking up on this list I ran:

[EMAIL PROTECTED]:~> sa-learn --dump magic
0.000          0          2          0  non-token data: bayes db version
0.000          0         81          0  non-token data: nspam
0.000          0        355          0  non-token data: nham
0.000          0      14249          0  non-token data: ntokens
0.000          0 1079235736          0  non-token data: oldest atime
0.000          0 1079235736          0  non-token data: newest atime
0.000          0          0          0  non-token data: last journal sync
atime
0.000          0          0          0  non-token data: last expiry atime
0.000          0          0          0  non-token data: last expire atime
delta
0.000          0          0          0  non-token data: last expire
reduction count

I was aware of the imbalance from spam/ham, so have not been running
sa-learn over hams for a couple of weeks.

I just ran:

sa-learn --spam --config-file=/etc/mail/spamassassin/local.cf \
                --dir /home/roland/Maildir/spam/cur/

And this reported:

Learned from 20 message(s) (30 message(s) examined).

I ran 'sa-learn --dump magic' again, but the stat's did not change. I was
expecting to see the 'nspam' go up by 20, and the newest atime to change.

What could I be doing wrong? Any pointers welcome.

Here is my config information (note SA is run with the spamc/spamd
combination via procmail, and apart from the bayes db, all seems well).

<----config info---->

My local.cf is:

# How many hits before a mail is considered spam.
required_hits 4

bayes_auto_learn_threshold_nonspam 0.10
bayes_auto_learn_threshold_spam 10.0

# Reporting Options
