WHM 11.40.1 (build 9) CENTOS 6.5 spamassassin 3.003001 VPS with multiple domains I tried to configure spamassassin to learn bayesian filters server wide because each domain doesnt originate sufficient mail to produce a significative leaning. Following this http://wiki.apache.org/spamassassin/SiteWideBayesSetup: /etc/mail/spamassassin/local.cf use_bayes 1 bayes_auto_learn 1 bayes_path /root/.spamassassin/bayes bayes_file_mode 0777
/root/.spamassassin directory has 0777 permissions Yet there is something missing or something that I did wrong because its not working log file says: /var/log/maillog Feb 3 14:34:46 * spamd[2620]: plugin: eval failed: bayes: (in learn) locker: safe_lock: cannot create tmp lockfile /root/.spamassassin/bayes.lock.HOSTNAME.2620 for /root/.spamassassin/bayes.lock: Permission denied
Where HOSTNAME is our servers hostname.

  I did change some of the log here with USERNAME, HOSTNAME and * for privacy reasons. The default spamassassing config for bayes learning per account works fine, I want it to learn server wide.

  Re: Server wide spamassasin bayes learning not working Support solved the problem. /root/.spamassassin has 777 permissions but /root has 550 and denies reading permission to spamassassin. I moved the files to /var/spamassassin,put "bayes_path /var/spamassassin/bayes" in local.cf and its working. Thanks!
