Hey Julian et all-<br><br>
In regards to all of the messages I have read that Bayes will not start
working until the magic number of 200 messages is reached, I am certain
that I have processed more than 200 messages and yet I still see no
"Bayes" entries in the headers.<br><br>
I have checked the files in /root/.spamassassin and found the
following:<br><br>
<i>filename<x-tab> </x-tab><x-tab> </x-tab>size<x-tab> </x-tab><x-tab> </x-tab>date
modified<br>
</i>auto-whitelist<x-tab> </x-tab><x-tab> </x-tab>644.0
kb<x-tab> </x-tab>today<br>
auto-whitelist.db<x-tab> </x-tab>12.0
kb<x-tab> </x-tab><x-tab> </x-tab>3.28.03<br>
bayes_msgcount<x-tab> </x-tab>3.2

bayes_seen.db<x-tab> </x-tab><x-tab> </x-tab>4.0
kb<x-tab> </x-tab><x-tab> </x-tab>3.28.03<br>
bayes_toks<x-tab> </x-tab><x-tab> </x-tab>2.6
mb<x-tab> </x-tab><x-tab> </x-tab>today<br>
bayes_toks.db<x-tab> </x-tab><x-tab> </x-tab>12.0
kb<x-tab> </x-tab><x-tab> </x-tab>3.28.03<br><br>
while I was checking these files - I saw that a new file was created and
then deleted called auto-whitelist.lock, due to the fact that the system
starting processing mails at this time.<br><br>
The questions that I have are:<br>
1-according to previous statements about the size of bayes_msgcount, have
I only correctly processed 3 or 4 emails?<br>
2-why are all of the .db files form a month and a half ago?<br>
3-why are there still no headers containing anything regarding
Bayes?<br><br>
Am I missing something. I have had MailScanner running for about 2 months
now and am certain that I have processed enough emails.<br><br>
Any help is appreciated.<br><br>
Thank You<br><br>

I have the bayes database working as it s modified each time i

Is there a minim size of the bayes database in order to be uzed for<br>

It won't start using the results of the Bayes data until 200 messages
have<br>
been scanned. The bayes_msgcount file will tell you how many it has
scanned<br>
(file size == number of messages).<br><br>
