I was wrong - Bayes filter not quite right
So I was able to get the Bayes filter working under spamassassin -D as the ‘amavis’ user (which should be correct), but when I run a live message through the mail server, it is apparently NOT using Bayes. Any ideas on where/how I could troubleshoot that specifically?

I had similar issue, I am running FreeBSD, in my etc/group
vscan:*:110:clamav
also, cd /var
ls -la
drwxr-x---- 8 vscan vscan amavis
because inside /var/amavisd
db .spamassassin
Thanks,

I’ve carefully verified the user the service is running under is ‘amavis’ and that I can su amavis and successfully get Bayes results with spamassassin -D < (TESTEMAIL)
It’s very strange - like the service is ignoring the bases database even though as the user it reads it just fine. The DB for that user has around 2000 spam and 500 ham right at the moment, and not reporting any errors.

user "vscan" != user "amavis".

Which user is amavisd running under? If it's indeed running under user
"vscan" then training and testing Bayes as user "amavis" probably won't
help any.

Gun Control laws cannot reduce violent crime, because gun control
laws focus obsessively on a tool a criminal might use to commit a
crime rather than the criminal himself and his act of violence.

Hi Bruce,
I was having similar issues, can you do su - vscan and restart amavisd
service?
make sure you vscan user can read /var/amavisd.
also, you must feed about 200+ ham/spam emails to activate bayes.
Thanks,
