I'm having some trouble with Bayes. Occasionally, mail will stop flowing in my system. This is because my procmail spamassassin.lock file becomes stale. I've futher discovered that it's because the bayes DB gets locked and somehow dies midway during a rebuild. This causes my whole mail system to come to a screeching halt, and I have to go manually clear lock files manually.
spamassassin.lock file ?
Sounds like you're using the sample procmail script that uses a lockfile to serialize local mail delivery so that only one copy of spamassassin can ever run at once. Bad idea.
Is your server delivering mail just to you or to many people ?
I'd suggest you get rid of that lockfile, and look at an alternate way of limiting the number of simultaneous spamassassin (or spamc) instances to a managable but >1 amount.
In fact if you search the archives for messages from me you should find a procmail script I posted that lets you limit the local delivery concurancy to a manageable level. Also if you're using spamc, (and you probably should be) look at the -m option of spamd....
