Alex -- if the files are intact and *not* corrupted you should be OK. Just dump the contents using the Berkeley DB command-line tools, db_upgrade, db_dump etc. and it may be possible to get it back. But it sounds a lot like there was some disk-level problems. SpamAssassin uses locking to control concurrent access to the bayes dbs, so corruption based on that is pretty hard to do. --j. ------------------------------------------------------- This SF.net email is sponsored by: VM Ware With VMware you can run multiple operating systems on a single machine.
