I'm setting up a new server.  However, email sent to the

able to figure out is causing that.

My local.cf says:
    bayes_auto_learn 1
    use_bayes_rules 1
    bayes_auto_learn_threshold_nonspam 0.1
    bayes_auto_learn_threshold_spam 10

As you want a site-wide Bayes, you also need the "bayes_path"
parameter. What setting do you have for "bayes_path" (note it
isn't a simple directory name).

bayes_path /usr/spamassassin/bayes
bayes_file_mode 0777

OK, is the directory "/usr/spamassassin" writable by the user-ID that
you are running spamd as? What happens if you do a:
   chmod 1777 /usr/spamassassin

and then retest?

Strong suggestion, do -not- put your bayes stuff into a directory
that contains other SA components. Best to have a directory in your "/var"
partition just for the bayes stuff.
