I have things setup so each user has a spam folder that they will put
missed spam in. This folder will later be trained from cron jobs using
sa-learn. The problem is, it seems that sa-learn is ignoring the -u /
--user= flag. No matter what I set it to, it trains for root instead of
that user. I am verifying this by checking the /root/.spamassassin/
directory. Each time I run sa-learn, the bayes files in the directory
are updated, instead of the files in /usr/home/<user>/.spamassassin/
This is a feature/shortcoming in the -u option for sa-learn when using
non-SQL based bayes storage modules. That is why the documentation
states:
You can use this option to specify users in a virtual user
configuration.
Otherwise the bayes path, if unset via dbpath or in a .cf file is
expanded to be in $ENV{HOME} which in your case is /root/.
I added the -u specifically for BayesSQL users, since it doesn't refer
to an actual directory on the filesystem.
Feel free to file a bug report, but honestly it might end up being a
documentation patch saying that -u is not effective for DBM storage.
BTW, you can easily accomplish the same thing as root using su -c or
similar mechanisms.

Ahh ok. Make sense! I will change to a sql backend, as my users have
no shell access and can't run the command as themselves. Thanks for the
clarification!
