RE: Re[6]: [vps-mail] Large Spamassassin bayes_toks file

["Jim Smith" <maillists@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

I've got plenty of ham and spam in some of my user's token files with my
/home/jsmith/.spamassassin having well over the 5 meg limit. The point
Abigail notes that the debug reports shows no ham is because it is looking
at /root/.spamassassin/bayes_toks and I can't figure out how to convince it
to look at my user's database's instead. 

And after a month or so of "training" it and building up a database of spam
& ham, I don't want to tell my client's that they need to start over again
from zero every time it reaches 5 megs because we can't figure out how to
use the expire feature on a shared VPS2 server.

Matt's suggestion of doing a symlink from root to each user's files may be
the manual hack I'll have to try until we can figure out how to make this
process less cumbersome. Any better solutions that anyone can come up with
to try?

Thanks,

Jim Smith
