Gene, how many times have I told you "don't do that with Linux"? Old fart or not, you broke it. Now you get to fix it. You declared you run all mail handling as an unprivileged user. Then you try to run sa-learn as root on root's mailbox. There is rather a problem there if you think about it. Sit and ruminate a few minutes. Seriously - think. Have you considered what you are doing and where at least one hyper-obvious problem lies? If you're not banging your forehead and screaming "Doh!" by now here is the clue bat. If you've figured it out, "DUCK!" SpamAssassin will be using a Bayes database collected as that unprivileged user. It cannot use one generated as root and placed in root's directory structure. The last I knew you were trying to use per user Bayes. So sa-learn as root will build the file in a place the unprivileged process cannot access AND will likely leave the file with privileges that prevent access by that unprivileged user. That's issue one for you to fix. And if you don't fix your errant ways mama's gonna whup you good. What size machine are you trying to work on? How deep into your swap file are you when you run sa-learn? {^_^} Joanne, ashamed I've known you all these years, Gene. You shame me by not taking advice repeated virtually every time we communicate.

It figures, Joanne would have to see how long she can balance on the soap box. ;-) At least here in Weston, our 'free speech stump', the stump of a 4+ foot diameter Grand Old Man that was here & probably 50 feet tall when the war between the states was a current event, has a guard rail now, and since they left it about 4 feet tall, has a set of steps so even an old fart like me can make it up onto it should I feel the urge to make a speech. However, I see what you are saying, both about perms, and locations. Excellent points, I'll see what I can figure out toward making that database belong to me instead of root. Obviously I didn't carry that conversion to user near far enough, so I deserve the knuckle rap. How about I change that kmail filter rule to use: runcon -l gene sa-learn --spam /path/to/spam and: runcon -l gene sa-learn --ham /path/to/ham Now, I note that the /home/gene/.spamassassin/bayes* stuff is carrying a very current time stamp, # ls -l total 53332 -rw--- 1 gene gene 20983808 2008-02-08 23:27 auto-whitelist -rw-rw-rw- 1 gene gene6 2008-01-03 02:37 auto-whitelist.mutex -rw--- 1 gene gene26616 2008-02-08 23:27 bayes_journal -rw-rw-rw- 1 gene gene 147750 2008-01-03 02:37 bayes.mutex -rw--- 1 gene gene 41889792 2008-02-08 23:27 bayes_seen -rw--- 1 gene gene 5292032 2008-02-08 23:27 bayes_toks -rw-r--r-- 1 gene gene 934 2005-12-14 16:58 init.pre -rw-r--r-- 1 gene gene 1164 2006-01-16 13:45 user_prefs -rw-r--r-- 1 gene gene 2397 2005-12-14 16:58 v310.pre so apparently it is doing some self-learning?

Many programs including "rm", "mv", "ls" and "sa-learn" have a limit in the commandline options which is arround 1200 to 1400.

Right, bu if I run 'sa-learn --spam --dir ...' sa-learn exit with an error message that I have tried to scan to many messages (something similar) which mean, perl had exceed the limits.
