Hello,
I have a recently deployed version of SA ver 3.1.5 running that seems to be
having a problem with the bayes auto-learning. I left the .cf files with
the default settings. I cannot seem to get to the source of the problem,
but lock files are building up and causing the following errors.
My first question is how can just disable the writing to the bayes files?
secondly what might cause this to happen, where multiple bayes.lock files
build up causing spamd
to fork a bunch of processes and causing things to come to a halt?
