The Bayes issue is probably something that has been that way for a long time. Potentially it has always been that way. The error message I see in the logs is: Dec 7 21:38:57 debbugs spamd[13350]: bayes: cannot open bayes databases /var/lib/spamassassin/nobody/bayes_* R/O: tie failed: Permission denied And the dates on the files are from 2013. -rw------- 1 debian-spamd debian-spamd 170110976 Jun 8 2013 bayes_seen SpamAssassin itself will continue without Bayes in this case. It will use the other rules to evaluate the message. So I think this is one of those things that has always been this way. On the good side the /var/lib/spamassassin/* rules are current and appear to be getting updated okay. > It's possible that some of its internal files got corrupted from > our recent RAID array failure event a couple weeks ago.

There were a surprising number of random files dropped or corrupted across the machines that needed some fixup and recovery from backup and restore from pristine on the Savannah systems. Glenn reported a missing file that he fixed earlier. I would not be surprised to find that there were others that need rescuing. Eli Zaretskii wrote: > It seems something it still amiss.

I poked my nose in there and found that spamd was not running. Exim was complaining that it couldn't contact it. I started it back up again and immediately exim started to log normal activity in the log file. If email on debbugs was not down too long (past the expire time on 3rd party servers which would then generate a bounce) then mail will have queued on the 3rd party servers and retry for 3 to 5 days. Now that it seems to be receiving mail I expect that over the next hour or four those 3rd party servers will retry sending the mail. I am hoping that the cofferdam will now be broken and we will see a bunch of backlogged mail flowing through. Bob
