font-family:Arial'>I set up a new MailScanner server today, basically as a
clone of an already existing one in the pool. I have SpamAssassin’s “autolearn”
feature enabled on the existing mail servers; however, even though I have the
same environment and configuration file on the new incoming server, autolearn
does not appear to be activated. It’s either that, or bayes just isn’t
activating properly, and autolearn is deactivating on it’s own.. I’m
just not sure.<o:p></o:p></span></font></p>
