Since exim runs under the "nobody" account (I could not get it to run as another user, believe me, I tried!), I simply copied all of the bayes files from a known working account to /.spamassassin and chown'ed them to "nobody". Everything is working great now and I'm getting valid bayes scoring for all inbound Internet mail. I did try setting up a system-wide path to bayes (in the SpamAssassin local.cf file) but I was still running into permissions issues. So, for now, everything works and exim4 is rejecting spam at smtp time. My spam (to my personal account) has dropped from 100+ daily down to 4 or 5. And, as someone else pointed out, if a legitimate e-mail gets rejected as spam, the sender will know that I never got it and try something different. Thanks for the help, everyone! Steve
