Site wide bayes for virtual users

[Jeff Williams <je...@globaldial.com>]

Could a debug message which says something along the lines of 'sa-learn 
stopping since use_bayes is 0' be added to sa-learn? This would seem 
obvious, but my problem was as follows:

I have a mail server with virtual users where each user has their 
spamassassin preferences stored in sql. I want to site up a site wide 
bayes db, but first wanted to test it with one user. So I added the 
bayes_path to a site wide db into my config file, changed the user prefs 
to 'use_bayes 1' for a user and went to create the bayes database as 
root...which didn't work. I though the 'use_bayes' option was only 
relevent when scanning mail, and didn't even think that it would be the 
reason I couldn't create a database. Running sa-learn with -D gave 
absolutely nothing useful, when a simple line like above would have 
saved me playing with paths and permissions and users etc.
