spamd bayes error

[Bazy <ba...@goofy.celuloza.ro>]

Hello guys,

Why after a period of time, after spamassassin keeps learning ham and
spam... do I get this message:

Dec  1 16:34:32 goofy spamd[1694]: bayes: cannot open bayes databases
/home/spamassassin/.spamassassin/bayes_* R/W: lock failed: File exists
Dec  1 16:34:41 goofy spamd[1694]: bayes: cannot open bayes databases
/home/spamassassin/.spamassassin/bayes_* R/W: lock failed: File exists

Is there any way that I can make the bayes database larger? Or I don't
get it... please point me out to some documentation that is specific on
bayes autolearning or explain it to me.

Thank you

Hi

you seem to run global bayes.
Try to use a database such as mysql or pgsql for bayes.

you can make the db larger using the bayes_expiry_max_db_size parameter.
See perldoc Mail::SpamAssassin::Conf
