sa-learn on other server than spamd

[Ingo Reinhart <i....@dung.de>]

Hello!

I want to use sa-learn on a diffrent server than spamd is running. How can I 
tell sa-learn to connect to the right spamd?

Or similarly, have the SA sw and mail files NFSmounted to another
machine. This way, there's no need to syncronize two machines with
the data. We have a mailserver that people can't login to except
via pop/imap. They can however login to the machine that NFSmounts
the aforementioned files and they can sa-learn and diddle their files
to their hearts content.   Another option to look at here (if you want
your users to login to a single machine) is to wrap sa-learn to ssh 
to the other host and run. (Of course, then you have to deal with 
the lower level of security of people being able to ssh w/out passwd 
to the other machine)

What I currently do is install the same version of SA on the other 
machine, use sa-learn, and then do a backup. I then go to the other 
machine and do a restore. This seems to work great.

sa-learn doesn't connect to spamd, it manipulates the database directly,
either file based DBM or SQL based.

If you switch to SQL based bayes then you can run sa-learn on any
machine as long as it can connect to your SQL server.

3.1 will include the ability to learn/report via spamd which I believe
will mostly do what you are asking.

sa-learn doesn't connect to spamd. Period. The only thing that ever connects to
spamd in the SA package is spamc.

If you're using a SQL backend for your bayes DB, you can change your
configuration and point it at the same SQL server your spamd server uses.

If you're just using local files for bayes db storage, what you want to do is
impossible. Those files HAVE to be directly accessible from the host you run
sa-learn on.

You can use shared network drives via nfs, samba, or similar to make the bayes
DB accessible, and pass sa-learn the --dbpath parameter, but a SQL solution
would be a bit more stable and safe.
