Hi, a few days on and things are still running well with MySQL bayes backend. If indeed my system stability does continue I wonder if the bayes DB version may have had something to do with the corruption problems that seem to have caused me these problems. The flat files are always create

Well, before moving servers... What is its file size? See the bug I referenced earlier, and the oddities found there. Yeah, I did have a look at this before. I dont think I have any unusually large files that would cause a prob, the sizes are: 82M./auto-whitelist 66K./bayes_journ

Hi, update on this is Ive had the system running using MySQL backend for Bayes and AWL for the last 4 hours. So far all good, no 100% CPU runaway processes and no Signal 11 errors. The 100% CPU issue did seem to be resolved by my initial deleting of the bayes BDB files (prior to configu
