I'm running a Mandrake 9.0 machine, with qmail (as installed by LWQ.org) and SA 2.55 site wide, using Bayes with auto learning enabled. The server is just a gateway server, which then routes it's filtered email (Thank you VERY much SpamAssassin!) to a POP server sitting behind it. The server behind it has roughly 1000 users on it. Since the server has gone into full production use, I have seen the following error in the SA logs quite often, and have also seen it happening when using sa-learn. The error is:
Cannot open bayes_path /home/spamassuser/.spamassassin/bayes R/W: File exists That is the proper path, and bayes auto-learning does actually happen, as I can see the bayes_msgcount increasing constantly, and the date and times on the other bayes files are constantly updating, as well as the sizes changing. Also, at any given time there are usually numerous lock files in the bayes folder. As I write this now, there are 4 lock files. Is this happening because too many processes are trying to update the bayes database at once? Is there a way, besides shutting off auto-learn to stop, or considerably limit how often these messages pop up? BTW, in my opinion, the disk subsystem in this machine sucks. It's 2 IDE drives, running at UDMA 66. I did my best to seperate the disk intensive tasks between the disks, putting the SA database on one drive, and the qmail queue on a seperate drive. If that is my problem, I will go back to the person who supplied me this underpowered machine (because that's all he had in his words) and let him know it needs to be upgraded. :-) Thanks for any help you can give.
