Chris,
If your system is using SpamAssassin, then you're almost certainly not using SpamBayes. They are two completely different spam filters.
Here was part of my confusion: client said he wants spamassassin rules and spambayes advanced settings. I will have to clarify this tomorrow morning. Also, as i have been reading the FAQ on spambayes: it looks like spambayes runs on the client level? Either a outlook plugin or thunderbird plugin. Spambayes does not get installed at the server level? Do i have this correct?
Actually, in theory Spambayes *can* run at the server level, and for some people it does. It is quite versatile. It can run as an Outlook plugin, as a Thunderbird plugin (third party extension), as a POP proxy, as an IMAP proxy, as a procmail filter (that's how I use it) and there are probably a few other ways of using it.
