Well im back. This time, a question on bayes.

I've been working to get bayes setup and running properly (and I don't 
think bayes has evern been setup to work properly to be honest).

First, in my spam.assassin.prefs.conf file, I have

use_bayes 1
bayes_patch       /usr/local/etc/MailScanner/bayes/
bayes_file_mode 0660

# Bump up SpamAssassin scores on the high and low end
# score BAYES_00 -15.0
# score BAYES_05 -5.0
# score BAYES_95 5.0
# score BAYES_99 15.0

# To disable bayes autolearn
# bayes_auto_learn 0

Just trying to make sure I have the basics setup.

I ran --lint, it found the bayes DB no problem. However, when I look in 
the bayes directory, I see a bunch of files that look like this:

_toks.expire98xxx  different numbers at the end.

As I was reading over the site, it recommened to do a dump and look at 
the magic. Well here it is:

0.000          0          3          0  non-token data: bayes db version
0.000          0          0          0  non-token data: nspam

atime delta
0.000          0          0          0  non-token data: last expire 
reduction count

Reading over the wiki site, there are a lot of things going on with the 
bayes system.
First question I have is that if I want to train the bayesian learning 
system (or even to rebuild it) would I just point it to the quarantine 
directory? Seems logical.

I'm sure im missing something. Been rather long, mind numbing day.

I appreciate any feedback.
