spamassassin global database

I moved the spamassassin global database to /data/misc/bayesdb that way it actually gets backed up more often then when it was in /etc/mail/spamassassin which is the default location. How do I tell spamassassin to use it? since I've done that I get more spam since its not reading that database anymore. My bayes learn script works fine as it specifies that path. There's got to be some kind of main.cf line I can use. bayes_path does not work.
 
I let my ISP handle that - they use Can-It by RoaringPenguin, which in turn bases Can-It on Spamassassin. You might find a clue in their support files:

Can-It
 
In Debian the default setting is "bayes_path /var/spool/spamassassin/bayes" in local.cf and it does indeed use the database at that path, if it's not working for you then you've messed something else up.
 
I read you need to use a ~/ type path for that command because of some security thing... basically its forcing you to have 1 DB per user, which imo is stupid, spam is spam, I only want to mark it once globally, not once per account. When I do a spamassassin --lint I get an error that its invalid. This is on FC5.

There are numerous mentions online of people using a global bayes database, so I tend to think that you've misconfigured something or are not understanding something. I'm guessing that the problem lies with permissions. Note in particular that running spamassassin as a script works in slightly different ways than running spamd as a daemon as far as privileges are concerned.

Well I would guess that whatever you read is wrong, as I said before I switched to an SQL database I had my bayes database in a flatfile at /var/spool/spamassassin/bayes and it worked fine. Of course permissions might end up being an issue, SVN is similar and can be a real PITA to get permissions right.
 
Well it worked fine when it was in the /etc/mail/spamassassin/bayesdbfolder but I moved it since I dont want it there, so I need to tell SA to look in the new location.

And other people seem to have issues with bayes_path. I think thats just for the per user one, so it wants a ~ path. My configuration is spamc/spamd, but the script that runs every now and then simply uses bayes-learn to learn all the mailboxes to the specified database. That command works fine, and the DB is populated, I just need to tell SA where it is, since its looking in /etc/mail/spamassassin/bayesdb.

You're hearing what you want to hear, not what's on the page. That link is pointing out that spamd (which may run as root) will not read user-specified paths. Spamassassin and sa-learn, which run with privileges of the caller, will read those paths. Are you setting a bayes_path in local.cf ? That's where spamd is going to read it from.
 
Yea, that message says that spamd will ignore bayes_path in the user's config file when the administrator has set bayes_path in the global local.cf, not that it doesn't work at all.
 
odd, since I'm getting that same error if I try to use that in local.cf.

[22413] warn: config: SpamAssassin failed to parse line, "/data/misc/bayesdb" is not valid for "bayes_path", skipping: bayes_path /data/misc/bayesdb

That path is valid, and the database is valid since sa-learn can read/write to it fine. But during the actual spam checking process, its not wanting to use the bayes_path option, so it does not know where the db is. Its still looking in /etc/mail/spamassassin which is the default location.

Code: 
[root@borg spamassassin]# sa-learn --dump magic --dbpath /data/misc/bayesdb

This is the entire output, perhaps something else is wrong, causing me this issue.

OK, so we know we're reading the correct configuration files at least. Next up would be permissions. You have bayes_file_mode set to 770, but that doesn't match the mode shown in ls -l. What happens if you totally open everything up? (Set file_mode to 777, chmod the db files and the parent directory 777).
 
It's not permissions, he specified the path wrong. If you read the Mail::SpamAssassin::Conf(3pm) man page it says:

bayes_path /path/filename (default: ~/.spamassassin/bayes)
This is the directory and filename for Bayes databases. Several databases will be created, with this as the base directory and filename, with
"_toks", "_seen", etc. appended to the base. The default setting results in files called "~/.spamassassin/bayes_seen", "~/.spamassas-
sin/bayes_toks", etc.


So the path is not only the containing directory but also the prefix for the _seen, _toks, etc files that it creates. I changed the bayes_path to say "/data/misc/bayesdb/bayes" in my config and it worked just fine.

Hmm intersting. Would have never figured that out myself. Thanks.

That seems to have fixed it, no error, I'll see in the next few days if I start getting less spam. Been getting a couple per day that make it through.
