Hi Eric,

Here is my new SA CL:

sudo /usr/bin/spamd -u mta -x -d -D -r /var/run/spamd.pid

The -x prevents the /Users/admin/.spamassassin failures.  I now have sa-learn 
working fine.  I was trying to run it as the mta user
but not I see that I need to run it as root.

The remaining issue is the mta home directory.  spamd and sa-learn now both use 
the same directory for bayes:

/var/spool/post.office/.spamassassin/

I am still guessing that this is because the mta user is set-up like this or 
because this the path for the post.office executable.

My question remains:

Will /var/spool/post.office/.spamassassin/ ever be over written by a PO upgrade?

No matter what I do I can't force SA to use any other path for the bayes files. 
 Rather than fight it I will just live with it.  I
can live with it only if I can upgrade with out worrying about the PO installer 
deleting this rouge directory.

Dan
