Then don't bleeding well complain or ask for any help: why in heaven's
name do you think that Jonathan didn't stop developing dspam at 3.4.9?
Though I admit my initial 2.9 worked very well and was my reason for
staying with dspam, but I wouldn't ask for help with it on this list.
I don't expect people supporting old releases of DSPAM. I'm aware of the new
releases. But I was not aware that asking questions regarding old versions is
discouraged. If the problem was not so fundamental (learning with empty user
profile) I probably would not have asked.
Whenever I see that people are using hash, sqlite or other "funny" DB
backends I normally immediately mark the thread as read. In this
instance I didn't, since I found the problem as reported so pathetic.
First of all I'm using MySQL for DSPAM and in fact, I came across that problem
using MySQL. After that I reduced the problem so that it should be easier to
reproduce in other locations.
I agree with you that MySQL (and maybe Postgres) is probably the best option for
DSPAM production servers but as of 3.6.8 sqlite_drv is the *default* storage
driver so I'm not surprised to see that most people with problems just use the
defaults...
If you feel my postings were inadequate or you had the feeling that I *expect*
volunteers to spend their precious time to help me with my problems, I like to
ensure you that this is not the case. I had a problem which I could not fix
after several hours and just *asked*. Feel free to ignore my postings if you
don't like to read them.
If your problem is with install standardization (you need quick,
standard installs to Linux FHS locations) and you run Red Hat Fedora or
RHAS/RHEL and want dspam rpms, then I can give you either rpms or srpms
(for SuSE I cannot help).
I have RPMs for all my new server, but thank you for your offers.
Otherwise, update to 3.6.8 or CVS (there isn't
much difference, a couple of bug fixes).
It is for a a reason that I do not want to switch immediately. One is that my
DSPAM is somewhat modified to fix (at least) one bug which was reported several
years ago but not fixed as of 3.6.8. Enough whining, I have to fix a bug.
