The amavis user's home directory is /var/lib/amavis.

I figured that it wouldn't matter whether it is commented or not, in the presence of SQL-related directives, but it can't hurt to comment-out this line. >> With the DBM setup, I had the following (I have since commented it out, >> while attempting to debug this Bayes issue): >> >> bayes_sql_override_username amavis > > +1 to this one since amavis cant use multiple sa users very easy, but > depending on what amavis it being supported with complicated setups :( I only need one Bayes user, so this setup is adequate. > i changed away from amavisd to clamav-milter, spampd in postfix after > queue, this is working very well for me, and i hope sa 3.4.x will not > break spampd :=) Hmm, I will consider your sound advice in this regard. amavis does seem to be overly memory-hungry (despite setting $max_servers = 1 and $max_requests = 1). If there is a better alternative, I'm all ears (or eyes, as the case may be). >> Is something more required to ensure that my mail system, which runs >> under the "amavis" user, is always reading from and writing to the >> same DB? > > nope just remember that amavis also reads .spamassassin/user_prefs > > if you like you can copy that user_prefs to /root/.spamassassin so you > dont have to remember something :) > > user_prefs should ONLY be readble by that user that runs it > Thanks for pointing this out. I will double-check the permissions. I'll respond to your other email momentarily. Thanks, Benny! -Ben
