Is Spamassassin supposed to automatically delete lock files when completed?
I am just wondering why so many files are created, some timestamps are from
the previous day.

My log files show the following:

Jan 19 14:17:06 mail spamd[22166]: debug: lock: 22166 trying to get lock on
/home/filter/.spamassassin/bayes with 3 retries
Jan 19 14:17:06 mail spamd[22167]: debug: lock: 22167 trying to get lock on
/home/filter/.spamassassin/bayes with 3 retries
Jan 19 14:17:06 mail spamd[22164]: debug: lock: 22164 trying to get lock on
/home/filter/.spamassassin/bayes with 7 retries
Jan 19 14:17:06 mail spamd[22168]: debug: lock: 22168 trying to get lock on
/home/filter/.spamassassin/bayes with 6 retries
Jan 19 14:17:08 mail spamd[22164]: debug: lock: 22164 trying to get lock on
/home/filter/.spamassassin/bayes with 9 retries
Jan 19 14:17:08 mail spamd[22164]: Cannot open bayes databases 
/home/filter/.spamassassin/bayes_* R/W: lock failed: File exists


It then has several files such as:  bayes.lock.mail.domain.com.21886


Is this a sign that a process is not completing?   Just curious if anyone
has an idea.

Thanks in advance
