Bayes databases losing file ownership
spamd runs as mail and that's what the bayes_ files are owned as. A
few days ago we started seeing an increase in spam and looking into the
problem today, I found that the bayes_toks file (but not bayes_seen) was
owned as root.
Anyone have any ideas what could cause this?
We do run a script that runs as root that calls sa-learn
occasionally. Could that interaction somehow cause the file ownership to be
changed? If so, any recommendations for the proper locking between spamd
and sa-learn?
Thanks,
Chris
