[Rspamd-Users] Bayes and Redis on multiple mx servers

Hello,

I have rspamd with redis as backend on several servers in our company. During
testing I discovered that the trained bayes db was only used on mails on the
primary server, although the redis replication does replicate the bayes db to
the other servers.

local.d/classifier.conf:

backend = "redis";

read_servers = "localhost:6376, mx-srv1.example.com:6376";
write_servers = "mx-srv1.example.com:6376";

new_schema = true;
expire = 86400000;  # 1000 days
autolearn = [-1, 12]
min_learns = 200;

The "rspamc stat" shows that bayes was properly replicated.

Or is Bayes only used when the number of scanned mails exceeds the min_learns
on the local host regardless of the number of learned in BAYES_SPAM and BAYES_HAM?
Is there a workaround to tell the other servers to use bayes?
