SpamAssassin 3.1.0 - Amavisd

[Tom Brown <to...@goodtechnology.com>]

Hi

Got a box that is pretty quite only getting through a few hundred mail 
per day - I would say on average i get about 2 or 3 of these errors each 
day. Is there a way to make the bayes aspect of SA more efficient?

thanks

i would prefer to go this route if possible - are there any good 
how-to's that deal with making this switch?

... or switch bayes db to SQL, where auto-expire is much faster
and is no longer an issue.

Run a force-expire manually from a cron job and turn off auto expire.

Alternately, change the Amvis timeout for SA.
