Error in my log

Hello,

Please help.

Mar 18 16:22:51 leia spamd[25608]: Cannot open bayes databases
/etc/mail/spamassassin/bayes_* R/O: tie failed: Permission denied .

I have an RH9 box w Postfix SA 2.6.  It is a side wide filter, with only one
account.  Anything that is being filtered as spam goes to one account and
stays on the SA box.  All else is forwarded on to another mail server.

Any ideas.

B

ensure, the account, running spamd has propper permissions to access
/etc/mail/spamassassin/bayes_*
otherwise choose another path for your bayes db within your local.cf file:
for example:
bayes_path /var/milter/spamassassin/bayes

a path where your user, running spamd, is able to r/w those bayes files.

regards,
Matthias
