I have to mention here that we upgraded SpamAssasin from 2.6 to 3.01 and
some boxes had the bayes databases upgraded properly but a few of them
didnt have the updated DBs. We had to manually go in and upgrade the spam
assassin DBs.

are they know issue with this kinda of upgrade ?


>Did you update your db4 libraries to work around the SpamAssassin 3.0 bug?

Thats a SpamAssassin 3.0 bug and i am not sure if the same bug exists with
3.01.Please advise.
