Okay, but other than that it'll begin using a global database for every email account it is protecting, correct?

Alrighty, now that I've had some time to look at it, I would like to
make sure I understand this correctly.

In the man page for it, it says:  bayes_path /path/filename
(default: ~/.spamassassin/bayes)

So, if I change the ~/.spamassassin/bayes to, for example,
/var/spamassassin/bayes, then instead of each user having their own
bayes database, all information learned from all of the mail accounts
handled by this server will be stored in the /var/spamassassin/bayes
folder, and will be used accordingly, correct?

Almost.  With that setting, the database will be in the
/var/spamassassin folder in files that start with "bayes".

Like the man page says:  "/path/filename"

"/var/spamassassin" is the path and "bayes" is the filename.

If you want a /var/spamassassin/bayes directory, you should do this:

bayes_path /var/spamassassin/bayes/bayes
