Bayes DB file locations help

[got2go <go...@msn.com>]

Hello all,

I am trying to get Bayes working on CentoS 4.3 with Postfix, MailScanner,
IMP (with Spam reporting feature).
I cant seem to figure out how the make one central location for the bayes
database files.

It seems they are in different places, all being utilized at some point.

[root@cyrus ~]# locate bayes
/usr/share/spamassassin/23_bayes.cf
/etc/MailScanner/bayes
/root/.spamassassin/bayes_toks
/root/.spamassassin/bayes_journal
/root/.spamassassin/bayes
/root/.spamassassin/bayes/bayes_toks
/root/.spamassassin/bayes/bayes_journal
/root/.spamassassin/bayes/bayes_seen
/root/.spamassassin/bayes_seen
/root/.spamassassin/bayes.mutex
/var/www/.spamassassin/bayes_toks
/var/www/.spamassassin/bayes_seen
/var/www/.spamassassin/bayes.mutex
/var/spool/MailScanner/spamassassin/bayes_toks
/var/spool/MailScanner/spamassassin/bayes_journal
/var/spool/MailScanner/spamassassin/bayes_seen
/var/spool/MailScanner/spamassassin/bayes.mutex


Can anybody shed some light into this ?

Thanks in advance!

Check your /etc/mail/spamassassin/mailscanner.cf. (if you don't have
one, your MailScanner is ancient)

If you've got this line:
    bayes_path /var/spool/MailScanner/spamassassin/bayes

Then that's what you're using for everything.

If it's commented out, then
     MailScanner should be using /root/.spamassassin/.
     IMP might be using  /var/www
    

If you have no /etc/mail/spamassassin/mailscanner.cf, and a REALLY old
mailscanner, check your spam.assassin.prefs.conf, for a bayes_path.

If that's the case then:
    locally logged in as root is using /root/.spamassassin
    IMP might be using /var/www/
    MailScanner is probably using spam.assassin.prefs.conf, which
probably has the /var/spool/MailScanner bayes_path.
