Hi Abagail,

Yes I found that jewel in one of the threads and it *did* work.

During the make, error messages made me think something essential wasn't 
working. Going further with perl,

Makefile.PL
gmake test
virtual gmake install

Worked out, once I realized the error message on the last line was 
simply that gmake wasn't being found and needed to be linked in as written.

I was getting one memory error on one VPS1 server B (out of 4 running 
SA.) For the moment I dumped Bayes entirely AND cut the language tests 
until I have more time to watch it. This server is exceptionally busy. 
In fact, I just added spamcop and spamhaus and it is refusing about 15 
connections/hour. There was an 80 meg spam file the customer never 
looked at!

I do think someone should assemble all the important instructions into a 
single tutorial. A lot of the stuff is crystal cxlear in the SA docs, 
all the variables and tweaks are well explained. What isn't is the 
complete theory of installing and whether to use daemons or not, etc. So 
far I am not, btw.

I have a VPS specific question:

I guess on Server B, there is only one user in regard to Bayes, right? 
But on VPS2pro, is this the same? Or, do the users need shell access to 
enable userlevel bayes control? I ask this because only the main user's 
bayes seems to work on VPS2.

thanks
