1) You are asking on the wrong list.... MailWatch has a very active
list of its own.
2) Your apache webserver runs as an unprivileged user/group, like
"apache:apache", which likely has neither read nor write permissions
on the bayes files. Fix that and things should start working (tip: "su
- apache -s /bin/bash" and then try access the files;)

Cheers
