It's definitely gagging on attemping to sync the journal. I put in some debug statements, and when BayesStore.pm sees that the journal is larger than 102400 bytes and goes to sync it, out pops the errors. I clamped a "truss" on "spamd" and all I see is a stat() on the "/.spamassassin/bayes_journal" file right before it emits the first of the error messages. Basically, I see [...] 29931: stat("//.spamassassin", 0xFF346EC0) = 0 29931: stat("//.spamassassin", 0xFF346EC0) = 0 29931: umask(0177) = 022 29931: open("//.spamassassin/bayes_journal", O_WRONLY|O_APPEND|O_CREAT, 0666) = 23 29931: llseek(23, 0, SEEK_END) = 391193 29931: fstat(23, 0xFF346FBC) = 0 29931: fcntl(23, F_SETFD, 0x00000001) = 0 29931: write(23, 0x01383390, 456) = 456 <write to the end of the bayes_journal file> 29931: close(23) = 0 29931: umask(022) = 0177 <Bunch of llseek()s and read()s of the database; not "bayes_journal"> 29931: stat("//.spamassassin/bayes_journal", 0xFF346EC0) = 0 29931: time() = 1067647856 29931: getcontext(0xFFBEF230) 29931: setcontext(0xFFBEF230) 29931: sigaction(SIGPIPE, 0xFFBEF448, 0xFFBEF4C8) = 0 29931: getcontext(0xFFBEF3B0) 29931: send(6, 0x01384BF8, 198, 0) = 198 29931: < 2 2 > s p a m d [ 2 9 9 3 1 ] : F a i l e d t o r u n 29931: B A Y E S _ 3 0 S p a m A s s a s s i n t e s t , s k i p 29931: p i n g :\n\t ( N o w r i t e p e r m i s s i o n t o n 29931: d b m f i l e a t / u s r / p e r l 5 / s i t e _ p e r l 29931: / 5 . 0 0 5 / M a i l / S p a m A s s a s s i n / B a y e s S t 29931: o r e . p m l i n e 9 3 6 , < G E N 7 2 > c h u n k 2 29931: 5 .\n )\n\0 I even tried chmod'ing /.spamassassin/bayes_journal to mode 666 just for fun, but I still get the errors on the sync attempt. What baffles me is why "su courier -c 'sa-learn --rebuild'" works fine, but "spamd" (also running as "courier") gets these "No write permission to ndbm file" errors. If it matters, "spamd" is running as /usr/perl5/bin/spamd -d -q -a -r /var/run/spamd.pid -u courier --nouser-config \ --virtual-config=/var/maildirs/virtual/my.do.main/spamassassin I'm running MySQL and have SpamAssassin preferences stored in it (thus the "-q" and "--nouser-config" switches), and (as you can see) I'm running it as user "courier". (I now realize that the "--virtual-config" above is a NOP, due to the presence of the "-q" ... oops.) I've run out of ideas at this point. All signs point to "bayes_journal" but I don't see where the "no write permission" is coming from ...
