Package: spamassassin Version: 3.2.5-2 Severity: normal In the default config, ~/.spamassassin/bayes_journal cannot be a symlink, because it is deleted if it is a symlink. The other bayes_* files can be symlinks, they are followed as expected.
I used the following workaround, /etc/spamassassin/local.cf:bayes_path ~/.spamassassin/bayes/bayes where ~/.spamassassin/bayes/ is a symlink. However, this workaround is a bit heavy handed, since it forces all user's bayes_* files to be located in the ~/.spamassassin/bayes/ directory.
