When procmail runs/calls SA, it calls it as the user to which the mail is being delivered, not as root. As a result, the root bayes database doesn't enter into play. Instead, your cron job should be run either A) as the user for whom you wish to train the database or B) call the sa-learn through something like: su user "-c sa-learn --ham/spam/etc /path/to/ham-spam-etc.file -- Mike Burger http://www.bubbanfriends.org Visit the Dog Pound II BBS telnet://dogpound2.citadel.org or http://dogpound2.citadel.org To be notified of updates to the web site, visit http://www.bubbanfriends.org/mailman/listinfo/site-update, or send a message to: site-update-request@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx with a message of: subscribe -- redhat-list mailing list unsubscribe mailto:redhat-list-request@xxxxxxxxxx?subject=unsubscribe https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/redhat-list
