Kevin, You may also want to add a line to your local.cf file that tells SA where to go for its bayes database. Here is a line from my SA 2.63 server local.cf file: bayes_path /var/amavisd/.spamassassin/bayes >From the docs: bayes_path /path/to/file (default: ~/.spamassassin/bayes) Path for Bayesian probabilities databases. Several databases will be created, with this as the base, with _toks, _seen etc. appended to this filename; so the default setting results in files called ~/.spamassassin/bayes_seen, ~/.spamassassin/bayes_toks etc. By default, each user has their own, in their ~/.spamassassin directory with mode 0700/0600, but for system-wide SpamAssassin use, you may want to reduce disk space usage by sharing this across all users. (However it should be noted that Bayesian filtering appears to be more effective with an individual database per user.) -matt
