More bayes problems

[Sunny Forro <sf...@compcoind.com>]

I've decided to wipe out my old bayes db from SA 2.6. I'm trying to
rebuild the bayes db by sa-learning some directories full of spam saved
by MailScanner. Sa-learn shows the dots, says it learned from messages,
but when I run a spamassassin -D -t it says there are 0 spams. When I do
a --dump magic, it gives me oddball info. It gives me a spam count in
the single digits or ZERO, even after doing a massive learn, it also
gives me a small number of hams - even though I haven't taught it any.

BTW: SA 3.0.2, Sendmail 8.13.2, MailScanner 4.37.7, FreeBSD 4.9p13


Any ideas?

Sunny

did use the -p <path-to>/spam.assassin.pref.conf flag on th sa-lean and 
spamassassin calls so the things get the correct bayes_path etc?

Also bayes won't kick in till you've given it at least 200 spam AND ham 
examples..
