Update: If I run
# su courier -c "/usr/perl5/bin/sa-learn --showdots --rebuild" to rebuild the SA database, the "bayes_journal" file gets rotated/removed(?) and I stop getting the "Failed to run BAYES_NN ... " error messages ... ... for awhile. I thought that had fixed it, and that I had a corrupted database. But shortly thereafter (after a rash of errant TCP Wrappers error messages), the "bayes_journal" file was back, and at some point, once again, the "Failed to run BAYES_NN SpamAssassin test, skipping" error messages started to recur. Currently my directory has: [/] # ls -lt /.spamassassin total 6574 -rw------- 1 courier courier 882688 Oct 30 09:53 auto-whitelist.pag -rw------- 1 courier courier 4096 Oct 30 09:53 auto-whitelist.dir -rw------- 1 courier courier 64951 Oct 30 09:53 bayes_journal -rw------- 1 courier courier 2086912 Oct 30 09:53 bayes_seen.pag -rw------- 1 courier courier 8316928 Oct 30 09:53 bayes_toks.pag -rw------- 1 courier courier 4096 Oct 30 09:52 bayes_seen.dir -rw------- 1 courier courier 4096 Oct 30 09:32 bayes_toks.dir -rw-r--r-- 1 courier courier 1218 Jul 2 17:46 user_prefs The "bayes_journal" file is there again, and so far, the errors have not yet recurred, after Yet Another "sa-learn --rebuild" run. But I'm sure it's just a matter of time. I'm really at a loss to understand what makes this error creep in at some random point - and surely the error message is bogus? The database(s) is/are obviously writable - so why would it complain "No write permission to ndbm file at /usr/perl5/site_perl/5.005/Mail/SpamAssassin/BayesStore.pm line 933"?
