cool. thanks for the feedback. just for the archives, I noticed this morning SA wasn't able to update it's bayes db. I'm not really sure why, but I had to change the OPTIONS line in /etc/default/spamassassin to specify that spamd should run as user mail. While I was at it, I dropped the -c (create user_prefs per user), so that file looks like this: ENABLED=1 # turn on spamd OPTIONS="-m 10 -u mail" yet even after that my mutt macros to '| spamassassin -r' &etc were updating the bayes_* files in my ~/.spamassassin/ dir.. I guess because I already had the user_prefs file.. adding the same bayes_path setting to my ~/.spamassassin/user_prefs that I had put in /etc/spamassassin/local.cf finished the conversion to using a site-wide spamd/bayes db (i hope). my ~/.spamassassin/auto_whitelist file is still being used privately hope it's of interest.
