Hi

you need to set the bayes_dir in /etc/mail/spamassassin/mailscanner.cf

make sure the bayes_dir is write-able and read-able by the user
mailscanner runs as.

This is a site-wide setting not a per user.

bayes will only take effect once you have 'learnt' 200 spam and 200
non-spam(ham) into the bayes database.
