Um, we may be getting somewhere. How again are you calling SA to process
spam? Specifically, which usercode will SA be running under when it
processes your spam? We can be sure that it will NOT be running as 'root',
since SA won't run as root even if you try to do that (it will switch to
'nobody'). I forget if you are calling from Amvis or the like, but if you
are they often determine the usercode SA will run under.
I have two guesses at the moment: 1) SA is running as nobody, which doesn't
have a home directory, so can't create bayes files. 2) SA can get to global
bayes files, but because you have been creating/maintaining them as root, it
doesn't have the permissions it needs to write to them.
Oh wait...
bayes_file_mode 0666
Now there's a problem. This needs to be 0777.
I think you are the person that is getting 'failed' a lot when trying to
process bayes? Yea, you probably have a permissions problem here.
