Bayes not working?

Thu Sep 14 09:22:23 UTC 2017

OK, so it is possible that there are no valid e-mails yet. I will check the score of some spam items.

How about the ORGNAME in the config file? Do you know anything about that? Changed it to check what happens. I see no difference. I thought it might be passing items through because of this setting?

Ok Now I am at a computer!

Default threshold for spam is 12. This can be changed with a config setting but the minimum value is 6.

From the spamassassin web page:

USER OPTIONS

The following configuration settings are used to control auto-learning:
bayes_auto_learn_threshold_nonspam n.nn (default: 0.1)
The score threshold below which a mail has to score, to be fed into SpamAssassin's learning systems automatically as a non-spam message.
bayes_auto_learn_threshold_spam n.nn (default: 12.0)
The score threshold above which a mail has to score, to be fed into SpamAssassin's learning systems automatically as a spam message.

Note: SpamAssassin requires at least 3 points from the header, and 3 points from the body to auto-learn as spam. Therefore, the minimum working value for this option is 6.

Not all spam triggers the autolearn. I can't remember what the number is but the spamassassin score has to be above a certain number to trigger the autolearn.

And i was looking but unable to find Bates!! ☺ No, just kidding..
In my config auto learn is enabled. It is by default.
I concluded bayes not working as I saw indeed that there are 0 spams in the DB.
The config is running for a couple of days. It detected some spam, does that mean that when the system detected 10 e-mails as spam that my Bayes DB should contain 10 spam emails?

There appears to be 0 spam emails in the Bates database. Check that you have Bates set to autolearn otherwise you will not get any.

Hi All,

I noticed that my Bayes DB is not building. My spamassassin –D –lint output for bayes:

Sep 14 10:02:06.389 [50764] dbg: bayes: tie-ing to DB file R/O /etc/MailScanner/bayes/bayes_toks
Sep 14 10:02:06.389 [50764] dbg: bayes: tie-ing to DB file R/O /etc/MailScanner/bayes/bayes_seen

Sep 14 10:02:06.390 [50764] dbg: bayes: DB journal sync: last sync: 0
Sep 14 10:02:06.390 [50764] dbg: bayes: not available for scanning, only 0 spam(s) in bayes DB < 200
Sep 14 10:02:06.390 [50764] dbg: bayes: untie-ing

Any idea’s where to start looking? Bayes and spamassassin are not generating errors in MailScanner –lint and spamassassin –D --lint

Met vriendelijke groet,
