SpamAssassin 2.50 Bayes + MailScanner

[Julian Field]

I had this problem when I initially installed 2.50 for the first time. What
had happened was the "make install" of SA2.50 hadn't actually installed all
the files for some reason.

Check your /usr/share/spamassassin has some files in it that mention bayes
in their filename,
         ls /usr/share/spamassassin/*bayes*
and that there are some bayes files in /usr/lib/perl5 (or wherever the root
of your perl lib installation is).
         find /usr/lib/perl5 -name '*bayes*' -print

I ended up doing the "make install" again to watch carefully what happened,
and this time it put all the right files in place.
It was working then, and I wanted to go home, so I didn't ever investigate
it further.
