Hi list, as I already mentioned in the thread "Different problems with exim" I've got some trouble with spamassassin. As the structure of the other thread has just become a little bit confused, I split it now.
Here is my problem: I configured exim to ask spamassassin at every incoming mail, wheather it's spam or not. Most of the time, this works just fine. But sometimes spam comes unscanned to my users. In case of error, exim paniclog tells me one of the following lines (randomizely choosed): 2008-09-16 13:22:29 <mailid> spam acl condition: error reading from spamd socket: Connection reset by peer 2008-09-16 14:38:22 <mailid> spam acl condition: error reading from spamd socket: Connection timed out 2008-09-16 12:57:53 <mailid> spam acl condition: timed out writing spamd socket And /var/log/mail.warn says: Sep 16 14:37:52 vs248104 spamd[3833]: bayes: cannot open bayes databases /var/lib/nobody/.spamassassin/bayes_* R/W: lock failed: Die Datei existiert bereits (The last words mean: file already exists) So, what I want to know is: 1. Is there a way to solve this problem? 2. Can I make exim retry connecting to spamassassin if this didn't work for the first time, before sending mail unscanned? I would be pleased, if anyone could help me.
