help with training bayesian filter

Hi All,

I currently have SpamAssaassin setup on my FreeBSD machine and have trained it with spam and ham messages (greater than the min thresholds of 200/200). However, I'm not sure it's setup correctly, nor do I see any obvious results (reduced spam) of the training process. A couple of questions:

  • I'm running sa-learn from my own cron (i.e., as my login user), but I'm running spamd as "nobody". Since (I believe) the bayesian database is being created in my home directory, will spamd be able to access it, or will it instead try to access another database? Spamc is also being run from my own account. If this setup is not correct, how can I fix it?
  • I cannot get autolearn to work. I've set "bayes_auto_learn_threshold_spam" to 8, but even with messages which receive a score greater than 8, the message's X-Spam-Status header still says "autolearn=no". Do I need to enable autolearning in some other way?

Thanks.
