Clearly something is broken, but I'm not sure what. I am using SpamAssassin 2.64 on SuSE Linux 9.0. My problems started when I upgraded from the original SA that shipped with the system (2.55, I believe) and the bayes path specification changed in the local.cf file.
Once that was rectified and the Bayes database was re-located, I thought all was well, but now I have confirmed that I can add and re-add and re-add messages using sa-learn, but when I try to "sa-learn --forget" them, the response is an error message. Here are the commands and responses: cornelius:/tmp # su spamfilter -c '/usr/bin/sa-learn --spam ./unham/1.' Learned from 1 message(s) (1 message(s) examined). cornelius:/tmp # su spamfilter -c '/usr/bin/sa-learn --spam ./unham/1.' Learned from 1 message(s) (1 message(s) examined). (same message clearly learned from twice. I can repeat this endlessly.) cornelius:/tmp # su spamfilter -c '/usr/bin/sa-learn --forget ./unham/1.' Learned from 0 message(s) (1 message(s) examined). ERROR: the Bayes learn function returned an error, please re-run with -D for more information (the unhelpful error message) When re-running sa-learn with the -D option, the command hangs perpetually at this message: debug: Syncing complete. .. until I issue a Ctrl-C. I don't see why listing the debug information would cause a hang, but it does. What should I do here? Trash my Bayesian database entirely and start over? What do these symptoms mean? /k -- Kyle Silfer Systems Manager NuCity Publications 505.346.0660 x242
