brothers and sisters in perl ,
I hope that I am not the first to encounter difficulty with spam-assassin's sa-learn.

It seems while spamc and spamd have options for sql stored bayes_dbs or virtual user directories, sa-learn has a completly different syntax for specifying configuration and user_prefs locations. Having seen posts on the sa-talk mailing list regarding this collect zero responses, I decided to have a bash getting sa-learn to use virtual config directories in the manner of spamd.

After browsing the source for a minute, making this hack to CmdLearn.pm allowed me to use the option username and virtual-config-dir , combining them to pass user_dir to Mail::Spamassassin::new. With SA 2.53, Mail::SpamAssassin::CmdLearn 

56,59d55
<              'virtual-config-dir|v=s'           => \$opt{'virtual-co
+nfig-dir'},
<              'username|u=s'                     => \$opt{'username'}
+,
< 
< 
91d86
<     user_dir          => join ( '/' , $opt{'virtual-config-dir'} , $
+opt{'username'} ),

Has anyone else come across this while using spam assassin, no users have system accounts on the server I am configuring. More to the point, has anybody made this work already?

thanks
