Hello,

I am still facing problems with Bayes token expiry.  In my
MailScanner.conf file, I have:

Rebuild Bayes Every = 86400

and

Wait During Bayes Rebuild = yes

in /etc/mail/spamassassin/local.cf I have:

bayes_auto_expire 0

in /etc/MailScanner/spam.assassin.prefs.conf I have:

bayes_path                 /var/spool/MailScanner/spamassassin/bayes
bayes_file_mode            0600
use_bayes 1
bayes_auto_expire 0  (again, since it did not seem to be working in
local.cf)

I am using MailScanner 4.37.7, which supposedly has resolved this issue,
yet in /var/spool/MailScanner/spamassassin/, I have

Here is what my logs have to say for yesterday's expiry:

Mar  7 21:58:12 mx2 MailScanner[10568]: Bayes database rebuild is due
Mar  7 21:58:12 mx2 MailScanner[10568]: SpamAssassin Bayes database
rebuild preparing
Mar  7 21:58:12 mx2 MailScanner[10568]: SpamAssassin Bayes database
rebuild starting
Mar  7 21:59:38 mx2 MailScanner[10568]: SpamAssassin Bayes database
rebuild completed
Mar  7 21:59:38 mx2 MailScanner[10568]: Rebuilding SpamAssassin Bayes
database

What I find curious is the log message "Rebuilding SpamAssassin Bayes
database", which comes _after_ the completed message???

Am I doing something wrong?  I have read and re-read the docs regarding
this and I have never been able to not have these annoying expire files
appear.

Thanks in advance,

Chris
