spamd and bayes
I've migrated to using spamc/spamd with user prefs in mysal on my email
server for site wide use, (25,000-35,000msgs/hr). spamd is installed on a
separate system for load reasons.

I was using spamassassin directly, and had the bayes analyzer working. Can
bayes be used by spamd as well? Does it require access to the users' home
directories or having the user listed in /etc/passwd?

Thanks.

I have that exact scenario (even the message volume) and I settled for a
single bayes database. So yes, spamd can use Bayes but I couldn't figure
out a good way of making per-person databases.
