... Or if you don't run MailScanner as root, but perhaps don't have a
specific bayes_path, then the place to look for your "active" bayes DB
would be that users home directory... ~postfix/.bayes perhaps...

A not that uncommon problem with chrooted postfix installs is that the
postfix user generally don't have write perms for ~postfix, making it
kind of strange where it'll put the bayes db:-). Creating the dir by
hand and making it owned/writeable by the user is generally enough...
and plopping in a starter db...
