No dbs present & modules not installed
We are running SpamAssassin 3.1.8 on FreeBSD 6.2-RELEASE-p3.
Currently, SpamAssassin is running but not flagging emails as ***SPAM***.
I get the following info when running spamassassin -lint:
[5841] warn: config: SpamAssassin failed to parse line,
"/usr/local/etc/mail/spamassassin/.bayes" is not valid for "bayes_path",
skipping: bayes_path /usr/local/etc/mail/spamassassin/.bayes
[5841] warn: lint: 1 issues detected, please rerun with debug enabled for
more information
And the following info when running -lint -D:
[5563] dbg: diag: module not installed: IP::Country::Fast ('require' failed)
[5563] dbg: diag: module not installed: Razor2::Client::Agent ('require'
failed)
[5563] dbg: diag: module not installed: Net::Ident ('require' failed)
[5563] dbg: diag: module not installed: DBI ('require' failed)
[5768] dbg: bayes: no dbs present, cannot tie DB R/O:
/root/.spamassassin/bayes_toks
[5768] dbg: bayes: not scoring message, returning undef
[5768] dbg: bayes: opportunistic call attempt failed, DB not readable
I have two questions:
1) Are these modules required in order for SpamAssassin to run
properly? Just running -lint doesn't say anything about them. If so, how
do I install them (I'm a FreeBSD/SpamAssassin newbie)
2) The bayes_journal, bayes_seen, & bayes_toks files are in
/usr/local/vpopmail/.spamassassin but in our local.cf file, the bayes_path
is set to /usr/local/etc/mail/spamassassin/.bayes which is an empty
directory. Even if I change the bayes_path to
/usr/local/vpopmail/.spamassassin, I still get the message "no dbs present"
when running -lint -D. What am I doing wrong? Is it just a matter of
running sa-learn -sync? But then it still doesn't seem like the bayes_path
is pointing to the right spot.
I know that this issue has come up many times before and I have spent
several days reading posts and web sites but I have not found the answer
that I am looking for. I was hoping someone on this list could help.
Thanks,

Thanks. Good to know that some of those modules are optional.
SpamAssassin was already in place on our server when I started working here.
But sometime after the old Network Admin left, it stopped flagging our
emails.
If bayes is optional for SA, then I could change use_bayes 1 to use_bayes 0
in local.cf and comment out the other bayes_ classifier options and it
should work?

Hmm, that's odd. How did you integrate it into your mail system? (ie:
just having spamd running doesn't do anything at all)

No. read the INSTALL document that comes with SpamAssassin under
"Optional modules"
http://svn.apache.org/repos/asf/spamassassin/branches/3.2/INSTALL

You don't have DBI installed, therefore no databases can be supported.
Bayes is optional for SA, so DBI is optional.
