This typically means there's a problem from DB_File which isn't setting the error appropriately. > Until now I have been able to fix this problem by waiting for a day > and then running "sa-learn --rebuild" which fixes the bayes database files. > I don't know why I have to wait a day, but sa-learn won't work earlier > (but will print messages like above). Are you sure bayes is working at other times? It sounds like bayes is trying to rebuild/expire, that fails, which locks the DB (it's seperate from the bayes.lock file). That should time out after 5 minutes though, iirc. > There are no temporary files in the ~./spamassassin, but the files seem > ok (and no, there's still no lock file) and spamassassin is functional > except that it does not perform the bayesian scoring. It would be useful if you show some ls output here. "temporary files" isn't specific. > When I make a "sa-learn --rebuild" I get those "tie failed" messages > (with no reason why they failed). The same thing happens when I look > what spamassassin is doing (with "spamassassin -D").

It does not matter > which version of spamassassin they are using (whether or not 2.60 or > an earlier one). Well, number of messages is irrelevent. It's # of tokens that matters. Size also depends on token size. Mine tends to be 10-20MB for up to ~600k tokens. -- Randomly Generated Tagline: Dan Quayle's Library Burns!: Both books lost.
