MailScanner does not use spamd/spamc at all, it talks directly to
SpamAssassin's Perl library for speed and efficiency reasons.
However, this does mean that you are stuck to 1 bayes db for the whole
system, sorry. People such as Matt Kettler (Matt--correct me if I'm
wrong) have constructed very reliable spam detection without using bayes
at all, so this isn't actually a big problem. Most people run with
bayes, with one bayes db shared between all their customers/users and
have no problems with it at all.
So that bad news is that you can't do it. The good news is that it
doesn't actually matter anyway.
Regards,
Jules.
