[vps-mail] Question

[Abigail Marshall <webmaster@xxxxxxxxxxxx>]

On a VPS1, FreeBSD, vinstall - what sort of database is
Bayes running?

I've had some odd database problems and have been advised
that I should be using the "DB_File" module and also to make
sure that I was using an up-to-date version, as "certain
older versions of the Berkeley DB had file locking issues on
some platforms."

It certainly looks like I am getting file locking issues
which corrupt the database. I upgraded my server to a VPS C,
and things got worse - I see more spam slipping through but
also a lot of error messages like this:

  Cannot open bayes_path /.spamassassin/bayes R/W: File exists

SA and Bayes are still working for some messages, just
running into these apparent lock file issues more often.
