Hi I have taken a quick look through the archives but the keywords I could think of where so general I didn't find much usefull, so excuse me if this has been answered before.
Last night I decided to train spamassassin on almost all e-mail messages I have collected so far because more and more spam was getting through. I probably messed my config up because today retrieving my new e-mail messages caused spamd to use over 80% of my system's memory - using almost 100% SWAP and between 10 and 60% CPU. I finally killed of all spamd processes and I have disabled it for now. I noticed that there were several spamd processes running at the same time (command /usr/bin/perl /usr/sbin/spamd -d -c -a -L) Here's an overview of what I did (wrong): I used find to create a list off all mbox files in my ~/evolution directory. I then edited this file to create a bash-file with a list of commands like: sa-learn --ham --showdots /home/m8ram/evolution/local/ces/mbox During this run I noticed that I forgot the --mbox option. I then tried to kill the script with CTRL-C but I appeared to be killing sa-learn processes instead of the script: + sa-learn --ham --showdots /home/m8ram/evolution/local/Bram/subfolders/linux/subfolders/suse/mbox ./mbox.list: line 20: 6886 Killed sa-learn --ham --showdots /home/m8ram/evolution/local/Bram/subfolders/linux/subfolders/suse/mbox So I used kill to kill the script: + sa-learn --ham --showdots /home/m8ram/evolution/local/Bram/subfolders/linux/subfolders/nllgg/mbox interrupted at /usr/lib/perl5/site_perl/5.8.0/Mail/SpamAssassin/CmdLearn.pm line 249. Terminated I then edited the mbox.list file to include the --mbox option and I restarted the learning process. This must have messed something up because now I get the behaviour I described earlier. The contents of .spamassassin looks like: [EMAIL PROTECTED]:~> ls -lh .spamassassin/ total 12M -rw------- 1 m8ram root 324K 2003-09-28 15:42 auto-whitelist -rw------- 2 m8ram users 1.7M 2004-02-17 16:40 auto-whitelist.dir -rw------- 2 m8ram users 1.7M 2004-02-17 16:40 auto-whitelist.pag -rw------- 1 m8ram root 5.0M 2004-02-17 17:59 bayes_seen -rw------- 1 m8ram users 5.1M 2004-02-17 19:03 bayes_toks -rw------- 1 m8ram users 0 2004-02-17 18:27 bayes_toks.new -rw-rw-rw- 1 m8ram users 1.5K 2003-11-24 16:55 user_prefs -rw-rw-rw- 1 m8ram users 1.5K 2003-11-24 16:53 user_prefs~ I found in the archives somewhere the suggestion to erase the bayes* files and restart the training to someone who like myself forgot the --mbox option. Would this help in my situation as well?
