Bayes DB's sometimes seem to get corrupted and need rebuilding, esp if using the default 'database'.<br><br>more reliable is the SDBM (and quicker too) - see the MS wiki for a how-to.<br><br>Martin<br><br><br><br>

I don't understand why, but that fixed it.<br>
<br>
Thanks.<br>

delete the bayes info, let it rebuild itself, no worries :-)<br>

One of those tests that I never run unless there's a problem is<br>
the SpamAssassin Bayes Database Info from withing MailWatch. So I<br>
ran it today just for the heck of it. All of my data seems to<br>
indicate nothing has happened since around May, 2008.<br>
<br>
Looking at my files in /etc/MailScanner/bayes shows the files are<br>
being updated properly.<br>
<br>
But the bayes_seen file is getting a little large. So going<br>
through the MS.conf file, I find I rebuild bayes once a day. I<br>
look in my spam.assassin.prefs.conf file and a comment say I<br>
expire by a cron job. I can't find the cron job to see if it's<br>
working.<br>
<br>
So I see a few problems:<br>
<br>
MW isn't pointing to a proper set of bayes files.<br>
MS must not be set up right to either rebuild or expire my bayes<br>
files.<br>
I must not have moved something for that cron file to exist.<br>
<br>
I'm running version 4.75.11. Everything seems to run OK, but I got<br>
a feeling I'm going to hit a bump in the road on that bayes_seen<br>
file one day.<br>
<br>
Any thoughts, anyone?<br>
<br>
<br>
thanks<br>
