How to do Bayes

I do however have the entries in there:
auto_whitelist_path /var/spool/spamassassin/auto-whitelist
auto_whitelist_file_mode 0600
bayes_path /var/spool/spamassassin/bayes
bayes_file_mode 0600
use_bayes 1
dns_available yes
After looking at the line below given to me and correcting the syntax I
changed:
spamassassin -C /opt/MailScanner/etc/spam.assassin.prefs.conf --lint -
D
TO:
Spamassassin -C /etc/MailScanner/spam.assassin.prefs.conf --lint -D
I got this:
debug: using "/etc/MailScanner/spam.assassin.prefs.conf" for default
rules debug: using "/etc/mail/spamassassin" for site rules dir
debug: using "/root/.spamassassin" for user state dir
debug: using "/root/.spamassassin/user_prefs" for user prefs file
/var/spool/spamassassin/bayes_toks
/var/spool/spamassassin/bayes_seen
debug: bayes: found bayes db version 2
debug: bayes: Not available for scanning, only 102 spam(s) in Bayes DB <
200
So another step further..
What must I do next please?? :)

you need to make sure the the user MS runs as has write access to the
bayes files.
I note from the output below you've not forced the bayes directory in
spam.assassion.pref.conf. I'd suggest you do this so the learning etc
uses the same global bayes files.
