Daniel,

Since i ran over this topic, i want to make sure i have the correct 
permissions aswell. I have loads of .expire files that won't disappear. 
Made some changes yesterday to disable the auto-expiring within SA.

Can you tell me the correct permissions for the bayes directory? 0770?

Sample output from my directory:

# ls -al /var/spool/MailScanner/spamassassin/

total 776400
drwxrwx--- 2 postfix postfix   12288 2006-08-24 13:15 .
drwxr-xr-x 6 postfix postfix    4096 2006-04-24 17:07 ..
