Bayes R/W Lock problem
Started happening a month or so ago. Every now and then out of the blue
I'll get the following error:
spamd[61494]: bayes: cannot open bayes databases /usr/local/spamd/bayes_*
R/W: lock failed: Interrupted system call
This causes scans to take 40-60 seconds to complete as they seem to wait
to try to get a bayes lock again.
Restarting spamd corrects the problem until it decides to happen again.
Sometimes the next day, sometimes several days or weeks.
Any ideas? FreeBSD 8.2 Postfix 2.9 Spamassassin 3.3.2 Bayes using
Berkeley DB files 4.7

Trying to autolearn while an expire is underway? Though only delaying for
60 seconds seems to argue against that.
Do you have autoexpire enabled? That's suggested by restarting spamd
fixing the problem. If so, it's better to do that from a cron
job.
