found another hint (http://www.wlug.org.nz/SpamAssassinNotes): [...] debug: open of AWL file failed: Cannot open auto_whitelist_path /root/.spamassassin/auto-whitelist: Inappropriate ioctl for device You're using old format database files. The perl version change effected a change of the BDB version being used. The bayes_seen and bayes_toks fixes are BDB files and can be fixed by doing an db4.x_upgrade on them. sarge/hoary use Berkely DB 4.2, and you can install the db4.2-util package. with HTML [...] Fix: apt-get install db4.3-util Go to where you Bayes DB's lie. db4.3_upgrade bayes_seen db4.3_upgrade bayes_toks Restart spamassassin, and voila! [...] try to investigate this issue. fix is for debian based linux distributions. db_upgrade is part of db4-utils package. but before upgrading, save your current files on safe place. regards, Matthias
