Can I bump this one to the top again? I had great bayes reports in
every email for 30 minutes. Then nothing for the last three days, even
after restarting SA. Is it possible that my bayes db got corrupted?
The sa-learn --dump magic looks ok as far as I can tell.
Thanks for any suggestions.

This is getting stranger by the minute... After playing around and
verifying permissions and everything, I actually started getting a
bayes score item for each email. So I celebrated and went to dinner.
Came back a few hours later and checked the logs. Bayes consistently
added a score line to every email for exactly 30 minutes of run time.
Then for the last ~5 hours.... nothing. It's like the bayes component
crashed, but SA kept running otherwise. Mail is still being processed
via SA and being scored as usual. But bayes hasn't participated in
any mail for ~5 hours. I'm running spamd with -D option. There was a
lot of bayes activity in the log while it was participating. Now
periodically I get "tie-ing to DB file R/O
/home/spamd/bayes/bayes_toks" and "found bayes db version 3" in the
log. That's still occurring. But nothing else related to bayes in
the log after the first 30 minutes.
Anybody have any idea about why it would work for 30 minutes, then
just bypass from then on?

Thank you so much for the suggestion. I tried running it as user
spamd: sa-learn -u spamd --dump magic
I got this response: ERROR: Bayes dump returned an error, please
re-run with -D for more information. I ran it with -D and got the
following relevant lines:
Nov 27 00:13:23.325 [17354] dbg: bayes: no dbs present, cannot tie DB
R/O: /home/spamd/bayes/bayes_toks
Nov 27 00:13:23.326 [17354] dbg: bayes: no dbs present, cannot tie DB
R/O: /home/spamd/bayes/bayes_toks
Just for fun, I tried sudo su and reran it, and got the output
below. So for whatever reason, either I'm not specifying to run
sa-learn as spamd user correctly or user spamd appears to not have
permissions to its own home dir. I did check that the bayes folder
and all bayes_* files inside it were owned by spamd. Any ideas? BTW
the /var/log/maillog shows that spamd itself is indeed finding and
using the db in that directory.
Thx
Here's the sudo su output:
[root@ip-172-31-47-84 ec2-user]# sa-learn --dump magic

Do note that every user has it's own DB ... can be overriden with
bayes_sql_override_username bayes
So if either "spamd" user or your own runs it ... you should get
the same result ...
( I'm actually running it in PgSQL, can't remember what the file
based is called )

Thanks again to everyone who helped me get everything up and
running
over the past couple of days.
Now that I have SA finding my bayes database, I'm curious about
bayes
reporting. My bayes db is not new. I migrated my previous
bayes db
from my old installation. And I've been training it with ~100+
new spam
messages in the past day. But I'm concerned that I'm not seeing
anything related to bayes in any scoring report. Nothing on any
spam
message or good message over the past hundreds of message that have
arrived since getting bayes up and running in SA. I would
expect at
least some messages to have a bayes rule fire, either positively or
negatively, or even just a 0.0 score based on bayes analysis.
Is it
possible that after all of the setup I've done that bayes is
still not
activated? Is there a way to force a bayes entry in the scoring
summary
for an email just to confirm that it is indeed part of the scoring
process for spamd? I added "use_bayes 1" to the config just in
case.
But no difference. I've got allow_tell activated, and training
with an
email is giving me a good rc (It was correctly giving an error
before I
added allow_tell). Just nothing in the scoring results for any
email.
