Spamassassin, Bayesian Filtering

Hi Bernhard,

after a little brake I gave Bayesian filtering another shot yesterday 
morning.

After deleting the /kolab/var/amavisd/.spamassassin folder I started 
over with sa-learn and voila it worked.
I have no idea what went wrong except that I was feeding sa-learn 
several huge mbox-style folders(>800mb) with spam mails over night. 
Could it be that I was feeding to much spam into sa-learn and the 
corresponding db´s??

Whatever, it is working now.

Shall I add a Step 7 for debuging in the "Fighting spam"-section?

Cheers,

Markus

... assuming you mean the Kolab Server 2.0.1...

I cannot access the wiki right now, so I cannot check the instructions 
there.

   kolab-r
or root should work.

What is the output of
/kolab/bin/sa-learn --dbpath /kolab/var/amavisd/.spamassassin/bayes --dump
magic
?
What is the main error message of the same command with a "-D" at the end?
