amavisd depends on spamassassin to perform bayesian and other scoring of incoming email for spam detection. However, with spamassassin 2.60+ and above, the bayesian component of the scoring appears to no longer work...0 is returned for all emails. Downgrading to spamassassin 2.55 fixes the problem. Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1.emerge amavisd-new 2.emerge spamassassin 3.emerge and configure postfix to receive email through amavisd 4. Start amavisd, postfix - receiving incoming email 5. Notice that bayesian filtering is no longer working (grep hits /var/log/mail/current returns 0 on 90% of lines, the others are positive for other scoring techniques). 6. downgrade spamassassin to 2.55 7. restart amavisd and postfix 8. Note that good scores are now being received
bayesian scoring is working for me (at least in learning mode right now). Have you enabled it and provided the correct path in /etc/mail/spamassassin/local.cf? Here are my settings that work: max@ike ~ $ cat /etc/mail/spamassassin/local.cf bayes_path /var/lib/spamassassin/bayes Obviously, this directory needs to be created and the proper permissions be granted to the amavis user. Also, by default, spamassissin won't take bayes scores into account until it has learned from 100 each ham and spam messages. This shows that it is at least learning, so bayes is working: ike root # sa-learn --dump magic 0.000 0 2 0 non-token data: bayes db version 0.000 0 16 0 non-token data: nspam 0.000 0 7 0 non-token data: nham 0.000 0 3093 0 non-token data: ntokens 0.000 0 1065712811 0 non-token data: oldest atime 0.000 0 1067453636 0 non-token data: newest atime 0.000 0 0 0 non-token data: last journal sync atime 0.000 0 0 0 non-token data: last expiry atime 0.000 0 0 0 non-token data: last expire atime delta 0.000 0 0 0 non-token data: last expire reduction count

especially with regard to parsing configuration files and tests in /usr/share/spamassassin. Bayesian filtering also doesn't seem to work and most emails get a score of 0 if you run postfix for a period of time. Downgrading to spamassassin 2.55 results in everything working again.
hmm, reviewing this further...the problem is probably that the 2.60 upgrade didn't clean out all the 2.55 files. I just did an unmerge, and manually cleaned all spamassassin related files from the /usr/lib/perl directories/etc and things appear to be better.
