Bayes works when run manually, but not under procmail

[Dave Mabe <da...@gmail.com>]

I'm storing my Bayes config in mysql and it works as expected when I
manually run spamassassin on a mail message.

X-Spam-Status: Yes, score=17.9 required=5.0tests=BAYES_99,FORGED_MUA_OUTLOOK,
FORGED_OUTLOOK_HTML,FORGED_OUTLOOK_TAGS,HTML_MESSAGE,MIME_HTML_ONLY,
MSGID_FROM_MTA_ID,RCVD_IN_BL_SPAMCOP_NET,SPF_SOFTFAIL,UNDISC_RECIPS
autolearn=no version=3.1.0

However, when it comes in via Postfix and kicks off using procmail, the
Bayes test is apparently not run.

X-Spam-Status: Yes, score=10.1 required=5.0 tests=FORGED_MUA_OUTLOOK,
FORGED_OUTLOOK_HTML,FORGED_OUTLOOK_TAGS,HTML_MESSAGE,MIME_HTML_ONLY,
MSGID_FROM_MTA_ID,UNDISC_RECIPS autolearn=no version=3.1.0

Those results are for the same message. I'm using version 3.1.0. I'm
pointing to the same file for spamassassin using both methods:

:0fw
| $HOME/sauser/bin/spamassassin

Any ideas what could be wrong? Also, I tried changing my procmail recipe to
this to capture debug output, but no file gets created:

:0fw
| $HOME/sauser/bin/spamassassin -D 2>> $HOME/sa.log

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Question: what user did you manually run spamassassin as for this test?

Question, what user does postfix invoke procmail as? Is it the same as above?

If not, be aware the default bayes path is relative to the home directory of the
user that executes SA. Note carefully that this is the user executing SA, not
the user the mail is addressed to.
