Spamassin error related to bayes and writing files

Hello,

i'm trying to integrate spamassassin into postfix (the lazy way : 
https://wiki.apache.org/spamassassin/IntegratedSpamdInPostfix )

it work quite well, but i got a few errors related to bayes and writing 
files in spamassassin home dir.

If somebody can help me, here are some infos :

spamassassin version : 3.3.2-7, running on Archlinux, with postfix and 
dovecot

some logs :

I think you're probably right. I was going on what it says at the top of
the page.

Take a look at Fuglu

https://github.com/gryphius/fuglu

see http://gryphius.github.com/fuglu/ for more details.

It can't get much easier than this.

Maybe i did'nt understand things correctly, but i i read correctly the 
how-to, backscatter is produced by bouncing spam. As i deliver all spam, 
in order to have them sieve filtered by dovecot-lda, i think i do not 
produce any bounce related to spam.

i'll do further reading in order to use spamassassin in a better way 
latter, but amavis is a pain tu use out of the box on archlinux, so i 
used that method to have a quick and easy to set up antispam system.

Please, tell me if i'm totally wrong...

It was mostly a rhetorical question. Anyone who sets-up a mail server to
produce back-scatter is part of the problem, not part of the solution.

I think it's pretty irresponsible to give such a detailed how-to.
