Trouble with Bayes

[Daniel Maher]

Hello,

I had a similar problem quite recently, actually.  The issue was that the file permissions didn't match up with "bayes_file_mode" in spamassassin.prefs.conf .

For example, if you have:
bayes_file_mode			0600

Then your "bayes_toks" needs to be "-rw-------" as well.  If you don't have  "bayes_file_mode" specified, I would suggest specifying it. :)
