bayes trained, but never see any BAYES_XX in headers

["Hardt, Jon" <jo...@cendant.com>]

First time caller here...

Running Exim 4.30 with SA 2.63 and Exiscan on a couple of boxes here...My SA
install is whacking spam just fine; however after handtraining my bayes db,
I still have never seen a BAYES_XX test score in any of my scanned email
headers. I have attached my lint output for everyone to see and the
pertinent config info; I can't figure out why I don't see the bayes info in
my headers. Any help is greatly appreciated...

local.cf info:

a -D output when running a message through would tell you what's up,
but there doesn't seem to be an issue from your lint output:

        ^^^^^^^^

Are you sure you trained as the right user?

It looks like the bayes DB you trained works, but if your mail gets scanned 
while executing as some other username, it's going to read a different 
bayes database.


Remember: SA by default reads the home directory of the user that EXECUTES 
SA.. this usualy is root, and is generally not the recipient of the email, 
but it can be one of many other users such as mail, smtpd, nobody, etc. 
Check your setup.
