Copying Bayes Data

[Steve Freegard]

Marco,

This was discussed on the sa-talk list a while back - if I recall correctly,
you _can_ do this as long as you use the same DB access method for both
(e.g. for linux make sure you have the DB_File perl modules installed) and
that you don't try to use a database from a machine with different
architecture (litte-endian vs big-endian).

It's probably worth checking the sa-talk archives to double-check this
however.

Hope this helps.

Regards,
Steve.

Hi,

Is it possible to transfer the bayes_* files from one MS server to another?
I tried it and I received the following when running "spamassassin -D
--lint":

Cannot open bayes_path /root/.spamassassin/bayes R/O: Inappropriate file
type
or format

I have a copy of most of the spam and I think that I can let the new MS
server
learn those messages. I was just wondering if there is a quicker way.

Thanks,
Marco
