Bayes Engine not being used?

[Martin Hepworth]

Ok then - I had the situation where my sa-learn scripts were runnign a
root and resetting the perms on the DB files every so often. I think
theres now an option on MS 4.25 (or later) to force the umask in this case.

anyway to debug the problem...

stop MailScanner
change the Debug and Spamassassin Debug options to 'yes' in MailScanner.conf

run check_MailScanner

this will run a single instance of MS and you should be able to see any
errors relating to the Bayes DB pop up on the screen. NB CTRL-S and
CTRL-Q can suspend/restart the text scrolling past, and CTRL-C will stop
  MS.

Once you want to restart MS in the normal way, change the Debug settings
back to 'no' and restart MS in the normal way.
