<P><FONT SIZE=2>> You should upgrade SA. It not unlikely it's part of the </FONT>
<BR><FONT SIZE=2>> problem and 2.63 will catch more spam anyway.</FONT>
</P>
<P><FONT SIZE=2>I haven't had time to read up on converting my bayes from 2.55 to 2.63 and I really need to test the conversion before I roll 2.63 out into production. I tend to rely heavily on my bayes for effective filtering. But, since I keep getting pointed in this direction, I will escalate my priority on getting this upgraded. (I was hoping to wait until SA3/MS4.3 was stable, but that will probably take awhile).</FONT></P>
<P><FONT SIZE=2>> Did you get your Bayes problems fixed? I vaguely remember </FONT>
<BR><FONT SIZE=2>> that Bayes was mentioned when you posted the other week. The </FONT>
<BR><FONT SIZE=2>> expire problem can cause SA to time out real bad. How does </FONT>
<BR><FONT SIZE=2>> your Bayes directory look? You should only have three files </FONT>
<BR><FONT SIZE=2>> there, one journal, one seen and one tokens.</FONT>
</P>
<P><FONT SIZE=2>When I saw the SA timeout count at 0 on the box with the bayes problem, I was in even less of a hurry to fix it. Here is my bayes directories on both boxes:</FONT></P>
