Hi, Since upgrading our mail relay to solaris 10 and all the latest gratest spamassassin / mimedefang / sendmail versions, i'm faced with curious bayes db corruption happening after approx. 1 day:
i've got these parameters set: in sa-mimedefang.cf: use_bayes 1 bayes_auto_learn 1 bayes_path /var/spool/MIMEDefang-bayes/bayes bayes_file_mode 0666 #auto_learn_threshold_nonspam 0.1 #auto_learn_threshold_spam 6 bayes_auto_expire 1 bayes_expiry_max_db_size 100000 #bayes_journal_min_size 10240 #bayes_journal_max 5120000 bayes_learn_to_journal 1 bayes_min_ham_num 100 bayes_min_spam_num 100 lock_method flock (I tried with commenting it out, same problem) These never gave us problems on solaris9 / same setup (mimedefang / sendmail /spamassassin) the sort of errors I am seeing are: Oct 9 19:29:37 mx1 mimedefang-multiplexor[2101]: [ID 980602 mail.info] Slave 24 stderr: locker: safe_ lock: unlink of temp lock /var/spool/MIMEDefang-bayes/bayes.lock.mx1.vxxa.be.2101 failed: No such file or directory Oct 9 19:29:37 mx1 mimedefang-multiplexor[2101]: [ID 980602 mail.info] Slave 24 stderr: bayes: cannot open bayes databases /var/spool/MIMEDefang-bayes/bayes_* R/W: lock failed: No such file or directory Oct 9 19:29:37 mx1 mimedefang-multiplexor[2101]: [ID 980602 mail.info] Slave 25 stderr: Use of uninit ialized value in numeric gt (>) at /usr/perl5/site_perl/5.8.4/Mail/SpamAssassin/Locker/UnixNFSSafe.pm line 95.

Is it faster / slower ? thanks for your input, i'd really appreciate it because no bayes is bad, lots of spam gets through... tom.
