Thanks.. I'm not the expert.. I just use it! > Bayes autolearn is enabled when I feed Bayes with the 1500 emails manually > using the "sa-learn" command. Does it cause the problem? I think that sa-learn... probably creates a lock file. Assuming that sa-learn exits normally, I would think that it'd remove the lock file when it's done. I assume that it works this way because when you're "sa-learn"-ing .. the auto-learn feature is unavailable for spamd to record the bayes tokens (I think) because it can't get a lock on the bayes structures to record them. Once sa-learn halts and removes the lock.. auto-learn should be available. > I also checked the Bayes database directory and found two stale lock files > "bayes.lock...". One is pretty old, almost 4 months and the other was > created during I feed bayes this time. Could I delete them? I'd say.. that you can toast the 4 month old one rather easily... Watch for when sa-learn finishes.. and you should see the newer lock file go away after it's completion. If it doesn't... then remove that one as well.... I don't think, in the normal operation of spamassassin.. if the auto-learn *write* to the bayes structure put's a lockfile on the bayes structures. At the same time... I've never explicitly watched the directory that bayes exists .. to see if a lock file appears quickly and disapppears just as fast when it's done. I do know.. that if I evoke *sa-learn*.. that a lockfile will exist while it's sa-learn'ing.. and then go away afterwards. While it's sa-learn'ing, I see the Spamassassin header tags show that autolearn is "unavailable" during this time because it knows it can't open up the bayes structures to write the tokens to it. -- Tyler Nally [EMAIL PROTECTED]
