Because sa-learn -u ONLY works for virtual users. ie: SQL configurations
or folks using spamd --virtual-config-dir
sa-learn -u will not change the effective userid (ie: it doesn't su),
thus the home directory will not change, which is why it does not work
for normal users their bayes stored in their home directory.
from man sa-learn:
**-u* /username/, *--username*=/username/*
If specified this username will override the username taken from the
runtime environment. You can use this option to specify users in a
virtual user configuration.
NOTE: This option will not change to the given /username/, it will
only attempt to act on behalf of that user. Because of this you will
need to have proper permissions to be able to change files owned by
/username/. In the case of SQL this generally is not a problem.
