Generally, I have found that this points to a busy server with a big bayes database. Recommend adding this to your config for SpamAssassin: bayes_auto_learn 1 bayes_auto_expire 1 bayes_learn_to_journal 1 This will cause new AUTO-LEARNED Bayes entries to be written to a separate database letting the other processes open with Read-Only mode. I then run a cron script daily to merge/expire the entries. Something like: #!/bin/sh su -l <user you run mimedegang as> -s /bin/bash -c "/usr/local/bin/sa-learn --rebuild" Regards, KAM _______________________________________________ Visit http://www.mimedefang.org and http://www.canit.ca MIMEDefang mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://lists.roaringpenguin.com/mailman/listinfo/mimedefang
