Just wanted to let everyone know, my bayes journal sync problems went away with SA 2.61 I'm using bayes_learn_to_journal 1 and bayes_journal_max_size 0, then running an sa-learn --rebuild twice a day. That seems to be working very well for me. On Mon, Nov 17, 2003 at 02:12:31PM -0800, Chip

I've had this problem randomly. Bayes tends to lock itself for some sort of DB operation, dies midway, and then dosen't clear the lock. I've disabled my bayes in the meantime until I move over to spamd or amavisd-new. On Mon, Nov 24, 2003 at 06:33:25AM -0500, MIKE YRABEDRA wrote: I had

I'm still having this locking problem, so I've disabled bayes. I'll look to either moving to spamd/spamc or amavisd-new over the next couple of weeks to see if that resolves my lock contention problems. On Thu, Nov 20, 2003 at 03:51:49PM -0800, Chip Paswater wrote: I'm having some trouble

Also, check vmstat or top instead of relying on your system load average. The load average is not necessarily indicitave of your actual system load. If you find it taking too many resources, try bumping it's nice level way down when you run it. On Tue, Nov 11, 2003 at 11:30:21PM +0100,
