Could be, but historically I've had very good luck with the CVS versions of SA - and I like to live dangerously. ;)

I thought they were set sufficiently for the MS user to write to them, but I was wrong. Thanks for the tip - I'm feeling like a dork now since the problem was permissions... shoulda confirmed that they were proper before sending to the list...

I had turned on the SA debug flag, but wasn't getting anything extra in syslog. The comments in the .conf file don't specify that both debugs need to be on in order to view the SA debug info - once I turned on the MS debugging, I saw right away that the problem was permissions on the bayes_* files.

Thanks again,
Steve
