Hi Crisppy, Yes I've run that command and the output seems just fine. I've now noticed however that in my bayes directory there is a (strange) file called auto-whitelist.mutex. The file only has rw permissions for the user and the file seems to be created with the user and group of a given user on the system (e.g. me when I check my mail...not a system account). Also the file doesn't seem to be removed at any point. I suspect this is a lock file that is not being removed. Could this be the reason why I'm getting autolearn=fail?

It does'nt mean that autolearn is by default on or off as autolearn is by default on in any spamassassin-3.x.x version. It actually represents whether the mail it has got is learned as ham or spam or none. 1. if its ham then it has identified the mail as ham, 2. if autolearn=spam then your spamassassin has identified your mail as spam. 3. if autolearn=none then it means its has already identified the mail or file as spam or ham so not identifying it again. But in your case its none, then you should run sa-learn --sync with -D option which is debug option to know if everything is fine or not. if you get any error then resolv those errors. Crisppy f.
