autolearn : lock_file
Hello,
I have an error with SA using autolearn plugin:
Sep 20 12:25:06 hostname spamd[6157]: plugin: eval failed: bayes: (in
learn) locker: safe_lock: cannot create tmp lockfile
/home/USER/.spamassassin/bayes.lock.host.domain.ltd.6157 for
/home/USER/.spamassassin/bayes.lock: Permission denied
Is it possble to define the lockfile to, say, /tmp/ ?
As I don't have only one user, it can be nice to set the lockfile
somewhere else on the system, where SA process can write. I didn't see
anything about such a configuration variable....
SA runs as "vmail" user, if it can help.
Thank you !
C.

Having a global lock file for per-user bayes databases is not optimal...

SA can write to the users directories. You have something mis-configured
or you hosed the perms in the directory.
