Hi

We run 4 mail servers with the same version of sendmail and mimedefang on them.

Running on RHEL 8.10

sendmail-milter-8.15.2-34.el8.x86_64

mimedefang-3.4.1-1.el8.x86_64

We basically use the servers to add the boilerplate water mark to our email.

On one of the servers, I’ve noticed this error re-occurs fairly regularly

Feb  4 12:14:37 prod-vmail02.aipo.gov.au mimedefang-multiplexor[1978037]: 5141ER2q1989140: Worker 0 stderr: bayes: cannot open bayes databases /var/spool/MD-Quarantine/.sp

Feb  4 12:14:37 prod-vmail02.aipo.gov.au mimedefang-multiplexor[1978037]: 5141ER2q1989140: Worker 0 stderr: amassassin/bayes_* R/W: lock failed: File exists

It's saying it can't lock it because the lock already exists.


I’m a little stumped by this as I’m not sure what it’s telling me.

I’ve looked at the folder and it exists

[root@prod-vmail02 .spamassassin]# ls -lah

total 4.2G

drwx------. 2 defang defang   57 Feb  4 12:25 .

drwxr-x---. 3 defang defang   26 May 16 2023 ..

-rw-------. 1 defang defang   33 Feb  4 12:25 bayes.lock

Is this lock stuck?


-rw-------. 1 defang defang 320M Feb  4 10:39 bayes_seen

-rw-rw-rw-. 1 defang defang 5.0G Feb  4 12:25 bayes_toks

[root@prod-vmail02 .spamassassin]# pwd

/var/spool/MD-Quarantine/.spamassassin

It doesn’t appear to have a problem writing to the folder

Can someone explain this error and how to fix it?

Thanks
