Cannot get mimedefang & spamassassin to use bayes

[Andrea Venturoli]

Hello.

This might be a little OT, but the reasons for asking here are two:
_ I suspect the ports layout might have something to do with my problem;
_ I didn't get any answer on mimedefang's mailing list :-)


As per subject, I'm running the most recent ports of
sendmail+mimedefang+spamassassin on FreeBSD 5.4. Due to the latest
overwhelming increase in spam getting in, I tryed enabling bayesian
filters: I trained spamassassin and manually checked that it works quite
effectively; however I cannot get it to apply bayes when called from
mimedefang.

I've put:

use_bayes 1
bayes_path /usr/local/etc/mail/spamassassin

in /usr/local/etc/mimedefang/sa-mimedefang.cf.



Permissions are as follows:

# ls -l /usr/local/etc |grep mail
drwxr-xr-x  3 root   wheel     512 Feb 11  2006 mail

# ls -l /usr/local/etc/mail/
drwxr-xr-x  2 root  wheel  512 Oct 15 22:22 spamassassin

# ls -l /usr/local/etc/mail/spamassassin/

-rw-r--r--  1 root      wheel       806 Oct 15 18:16 v312.pre.sample

mailnull is the user mimedefang is running as.

What am I missing or doing wrong?
Hope someone can help.

  bye & Thanks
