alexpgpThe first couple of days after adding a spambayes filtering rule to my procmail recipe list, none of my mail was analyzed. Eventually, it dawned on me that maybe procmail didn't have permission to access the subdirectory in which I had installed the Python executables.
Apparently, I was right.
When I adjusted the path to /usr/local/bin... bingo! Everything started working.
The software - which does a Bayesian analysis of the content of incoming mail and compares it to the results of having analyzed known "ham" (good mail) and "spam" (spam) - seems to be working now, although it will be a few days before I can tell whether it's catching more spam than my old procmail recipes.
Cheers...
