Hello list- I've been using SA for a while, including the bayes stuff, training it with sa-learn every few weeks on the latest spam samples and ham I happen to have received.
I just did... a root oops. I was running known spam mails through a script which does a sa-learn --single --spam on the things, then it deletes them... the user SA runs as cannot log in itself, so I have to su to the user from root. I forgot that last step, so quickly killed the thing. It seems sa-learn doesn't respond to CTRL+C, so I had to terminate it from another terminal, as root. No problem, I think... only a few lost spams, and maybe root's bayes database is broken - who cares? So I su'd to that user and ran the script. Uh-oh, I find I have a few problems. I try other sa-learn commands - they all error out identicaly: [EMAIL PROTECTED]:~/.spamassassin$ sa-learn --rebuild Cannot open bayes databases /var/amavis/.spamassassin/bayes_* R/O: tie failed: Cannot open bayes databases /var/amavis/.spamassassin/bayes_* R/W: tie failed: File exists Cannot open bayes databases /var/amavis/.spamassassin/bayes_* R/W: tie failed: File exists So I google. And I google. And I search the gmane archives of this list. And of the dev list. And I google. The only thing I found was somebody else with a similar problem and a dude responding saying, "yep, I have that happen when I do sa-learn as root" ... but no fixes. I really don't want to wipe out my current database - I just don't have enough spam laying around to retrain it (barely any gets through these days)... ham is, of course, in great abundance. Any thoughts? Any fixes? Any suggestions? Any other information needed? -- Rob | If not safe, Jabber: athlonrob at axpr.net | one can never be free. ------------------------------------------------------- This SF.net email is sponsored by: IBM Linux Tutorials.
