Yes, sa-learn and spamd use the same code for accessing the DB, so they both lock and unlock in the same way. spamd can "hang" a little bit. Newer (2.52 or 2.53 and beyond, I think) versions of SA have multiple timeouts for the lock. sa-learn will sit and wait a long time. spamd will wait a short time (autolearning is opportunistic, not guaranteed...) The defaults are 10 seconds for auto-learn, 300 seconds for sa-learn. -- Randomly Generated Tagline: "We all know Linux is great...it does infinite loops in 5 seconds."
