Dear List, I'm running spamassassin with simscan. The problem I got is that the e-mails that arrive to my server are scanned and forward to their mailboxes, but it seems that the server sending the e-mail doesn't notice that the mail arrived ok, so it sends it over and over getting sometimes 20 copies of the same mail.
I think this is happening because my spamassassin is not well configured about the bayes learning, so I also get lots of "bayes_toks.expireXXXXX" files in the scan folder and lots of "warn: bayes: cannot open bayes databases /var/spool/simscan/.spamassassin/bayes_* R/W: lock failed: Interrupted system call" in the logs. I've been reading the FAQ and googling around but I can't figure out the best configuration. As I could understand, it is convenient when you have a heavy site to tell spamassassin in local.cf "bayes_toks.expire=0" and use sa-learn to force an expire on a regular basis via cron. Is that the best option? Does anybody know a better configuration? I'm running the 3.1.3 version with the following options: OPTIONS="--round-robin --create-prefs --max-children 5 --username=simscan" under Debian with a 2.6.8 kernel Thanks in advance!
