The explanation was two-fold:
1. Whenever two spamd-demons ran opportunistic journal syncing approximately
*at the same time*, one of them would lose the bayes-check.
2. The "last journal sync atime" was *stuck* at sometimes march 2005. So any
run of spamd would sync the journal.
Ad 1: This will never happen in normal circumstances, as syncing is only run
once a day (by one spamd, i surmise).
Ad 2: This is probably because of the upgrade to SA 3.1.0 where i dumped the
old-format bayes and inserted it in the new format. I must have goofed
somewhere.
To solve, i only had to:
stop SA
sa-learn --backup > /tmp/backup.txt'
sa-learn --restore /tmp/backup.txt
start SA
So now I get "1" when I
perl -ne 'if (/result:/) {$n++; $b++ if (/BAYES/);} } print $b/$n,"\n"; {' <
current
Thanks for all your inputs,
Ole.
