Spamassassin bayes not working

[JP Kelly]

It seems that SA is not using bayes on the incoming messages. Any suggestions on getting bayes to work?
I have trained with plenty of ham and spam. Where are the db files for global bayes located?

According to the Spamassassin documentation the Bayes system is not activated until a certain number of ham (non-spam) and spam has been learned. The default is 200 of each ham and spam messages. It means that Spamassassin begins to filter mails (according to your trainings) after 200 spam mails and 200 none spam mails were learned. This statistics is needed to distinguish spam mails.

I understand this. That is why I stated: "I have trained with plenty of ham and spam." I have trained with over 1000 of each.

Where are the db files for global bayes located?

What about global bayes?

AFAIK no global. We use individual bayes database for each user.
