Hello.
I am running a qmail server with spamassassin on debian etch. This setup has been running fine for several months, however in the last few days mail has became extremely slow. I found this in the log (mail.warn): spamd[5050]: pyzor: check failed: internal error spamd[8040]: bayes: cannot open bayes databases /home/spamassassin/.spamassassin/bayes_* R/W: lock failed: File exists These entries repeat consistently. I moved bayes.lock and a message was quickly accepted, creating a new lock file. As soon as the new lock file was created the server became very slow again. I also noticed that I have around 400-500 bayes_toks.expire* files in /home/spamassassin/.spamassassin. Is this something to be concerned about? Also, are the following files normal in this directory? auto-whitelist bayes_journal bayes.lock bayes.lock.mail.dakotasioux.com.17237 bayes.lock.mail.dakotasioux.com.24374 bayes.lock.mail.dakotasioux.com.24687 bayes.lock.mail.dakotasioux.com.5050 bayes.lock.mail.dakotasioux.com.8040 bayes.lock.mail.dakotasioux.com.8490 bayes_seen bayes_toks If you need any additional information please let me know.
