First, by "check in debug mode" do you mean running spamassassin -D? If so, are you SURE this is going to use the same bayes db as calling spamc? Important points to check before answering the second question: -Are you in fact running this as the same user that invokes spamc? Note this is NOT always the same as the recipient. It's often "mail" "root" "nobody" "amavis" or a similar daemon user. Try manually passing the message to spamc and compare the results. -Messages run through spamc/spamd will NEVER use root for a bayes DB, but the spamassassin command will. spamc/spamd will use "nobody" if called as root. (and "nobody" should NOT have a writable home directory, thus should have no bayes database, unless someone foolishly made a writeable homedir for nobody.) -spamd might be started with the -u parameter, which forces a specific user, regardless of who calls spamc. To get the same effect you'd need to run "spamassassin" while SU'ed to that user.
