Recent error has me baffled...

[Eric Sandquist]

Ha... Got at least part of it....

The problem has been related to MailWatch - monitoring tool for
MailScanner...  It appears that the software stopped adding data to the
database... Don't know exactly why...

Maybe too many records in the maillog table: 479314 records.... no primary
key...

Most of these records are irrelevant and are old... Has anyone else had
issues with MailWatch?

I found it to be very useful in training bayes and in releasing messages
that were incorrectly tagged.  But data that is over a few days old needs to
be removed automaticly.

Only 38% inodes in use on that partition.

Also I have tried disabling clamav and virus scanning, this got rid of the
LibCamAV error but the pipe break occurs at the same spot.

When running with debug = yes and debug spamassassin = yes, I just get:

/usr/sbin/check_MailScanner: line 118: 28058 Broken pipe $process $config

but no other info,either on screen or in the various logs to indicate what
has happened.

Sometimes the less obvious answer is the fact that you've reached the
maximum number of inodes available on the file system. Try:

        df -i <filesystem>

Note the exact command may be different on your OS but you get the idea.
