SpamAssassin 2.50 Bayes + MailScanner

[Steve Freegard]

Hi Julian,

Thanks for the reply.

I've had a look for the files, and I've re-run 'make install' - still not
working though.

Here's all the files I've got:

[root at trip root]# find / -name '*[Bb]ayes*' -print
/usr/lib/perl5/site_perl/5.6.1/Mail/SpamAssassin/Bayes.pm
/usr/lib/perl5/site_perl/5.6.1/Mail/SpamAssassin/BayesStore.pm
/usr/share/spamassassin/23_bayes.cf
/usr/man/man3/Mail::SpamAssassin::Bayes.3pm
/etc/MailScanner/bayes_toks.db
/root/Mail-SpamAssassin-2.50/rules/23_bayes.cf
/root/Mail-SpamAssassin-2.50/tools/check_bayes_db
/root/Mail-SpamAssassin-2.50/tools/trim_bayes_db
/root/Mail-SpamAssassin-2.50/lib/Mail/SpamAssassin/BayesStore.pm
/root/Mail-SpamAssassin-2.50/lib/Mail/SpamAssassin/Bayes.pm
/root/Mail-SpamAssassin-2.50/blib/lib/Mail/SpamAssassin/Bayes.pm
/root/Mail-SpamAssassin-2.50/blib/lib/Mail/SpamAssassin/BayesStore.pm
/root/Mail-SpamAssassin-2.50/blib/man3/Mail::SpamAssassin::Bayes.3pm
/root/.spamassassin/bayes_toks
/root/.spamassassin/bayes_seen
/root/.spamassassin/bayes_msgcount
/root/.spamassassin/bayes_toks.db
/home/smf/.spamassassin/bayes_toks
/home/smf/.spamassassin/bayes_seen
/home/smf/.spamassassin/bayes_msgcount

This is on RedHat 7.3 with Perl 5.6.1.  The spam.assassin.prefs.conf
currently has 'bayes_path /etc/MailScanner/bayes' in it - the
/root|smf/.spammassassin/bayes* files only have the two test messages in
them...

As this seems to be more SA related rather than MailScanner - I'll post the
same question to the sa-talk list and see what happens...

Thanks,
Steve.

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.
