Re: Fetchmail/sa-learn timeout (config included) --SOLVED

Turned out to just be a bad message in my IMAP folder. Deleted that one and the rest came through.

Hi All,

Forgot to incliude the config last time....

SuSE 10.1
Spamassassin 3.1.7 (Built from source tarballs)
Fetchmail 6.3.2
IMAP server is GroupWise 6.5, on same segment

I've been fighting with sa-learn all day and need some help here.

I'm using fetchmail to pull spam messages from a remote IMAP server and classify them with sa-learn. So far it's not working well. Fetchmail will download the first message and feed it to sa-learn. Sa-learn will process cleanly right through until the end of the expire process then will hang for 300 seconds, give an error that fetchmail has timed out, proceed to profile the one message it has received and then terminate.

This is a new installation, clean empty databases and I'm at a loss right now. Packet scans show no requests to/from the IMAP server during the 300 second "hang time". I've attached a transcript of the output (-D used).

Anyone have any ideas?

Ian

What IMAP client are you using? It'd pay to forward the bad message to
the maintainers so they can fix the hang. It would make a dandy DoS attack.
