Runing out of Disk Space
hi everyone, i'm pretty new to SpamAssassin. Disk space on one of our
servers is running low and it seems that /var/spool/MailScanner/spamassassin
is using 4.4GB. it is full of items like this
bayes_toks.expire7000
i roughly know what they do but is there a way to clear this out? i thought
some were automatically removed after a while?
any help would be grateful
many thanks
Nigel Robson

Hmm that looks very wrong..
Should be /var/lib if not blank nowaways..
I wonder if you're confusing the User State dir with the spamassassin
cache dir in MailScanner..

It looks possible. I have no idea about MailScanner.

is this the line in MailScanner.conf that changes the location of the DB?
SpamAssassin User State Dir = /var/spool/MailScanner/spamassassin
its the only thing in that file that seems to point to that location where i
have all those token files (unless i missed it )

You need to properly use the right DB path. Either a) run as the correct
user, b) if you have privs use --dbpath, c) properly setup site-wide bayes.
The thing to notice in the debug output is that it's using
/home/postfix/.spamassassin, not /var/spool/[...], probably because
MailScanner isn't running as postfix or is configured to use a different
directory outside the normal SA config.

You have no tokens since this is a new db and so it didn't do anything.

Feel free to pastebot the debug output. FWIW, --force-expire doesn't
guarantee any tokens will be expired, it just guarantees that SA will try.
The whole expiry process is best effort. "man sa-learn" has a lot of
information about how it all works, btw.

RE: Runing out of Disk Space
Posted by nigel <ni...@leighton.com>.
ok, first do i have to stop MailScanner? Secondly, if i make that change i
guess i would have to run "sa-learn --force-expire" to make it clean up
there and then? if i didn't run that command it would do it after the time
period set.
am i correct here? :)

RE: Runing out of Disk Space
Posted by "Martin.Hepworth" <ma...@solidstatelogic.com>.
Nigel
Then in your case you've not told anything to clean up the bayes
files...so yes try the inbuilt MailScanner way
First time it may take some time as you've got so many files, so you
make wish to stop MailScanner, run "sa-learn --force-expire" (as the
appropriate user if non-root) and then restart MailScanner..

RE: Runing out of Disk Space
Posted by nigel <ni...@leighton.com>.
my mailscanner settings are slightly different
Rebuild Bayes Every = 0
Wait During Bayes Rebuild = no
so if i change them to what you suggested this will clear them out? also,
does this effect mail delivery while it is doing it?

RE: Runing out of Disk Space

Ideally this would be on the mailscanner list...
There's a couple of ways MailScanner can expire the bayes tokens down,
and which one works for you seems to be hit and miss from my
experience..
1st method is to use the 'internal' MailScanner method. In
MailScanner.conf, make sure
Rebuild Bayes Every = 86400
Wait During Bayes Rebuild = yes
If you've already got this and things are *not* clearing down then
you'll have to use the 'standard' spamassassin way of doing this.
Run "sa-learn --force-expire" via a cron job every day. NB if your
MailScanner is running as non-root (eg postfix, mailnull) then make sure
the cron job runs as this user otherwise the bayes file permissions can
get set incorrectly.
