[SA-exim] Bayes issues

[Sander Smeenk]

Quoting Justin F. Knotzke (jknotzke at shampoo.ca):

>     Sorry, that should read:

sa-exim invokes spamc as user 'nobody' or maybe 'mail', for security 
issues. That means spamd can't get to your homedirectory to read the
bayesian stuff.

You can however tell spamd to look for bayesian stuff in another
directory, for example, /var/tmp or some directory you created
especially for this purpose.

You could then even copy your own current databases into that directory.

In your local.cf, in /etc/spamassassin/ add:
(directories based on Debian GNU/Linux)

| # Bayes basefilename. This file must be readable for user mail
| # spamc/spamd will add _toks and _journal to this path...
| bayes_path /var/tmp/exim4-bayes/bayes
| # Use 'hapaxes' to increase hit-rates with larger databases
| bayes_use_hapaxes 1
