Did the same thing from my end -- enabled "learn_to_journal" and set my bayes DB to auto-expire when it grows to about 50M.
bayes_expiry_max_db_size 50000000 It also helps to adjust the auto-learning thresholds (so that your bayes DB won't grow NEARLY as fast). I don't bother learning email as spam unless it scores above 25 points. For ham, email must score 0.5 or lower. bayes_auto_learn_threshold_nonspam 0.50 bayes_auto_learn_threshold_spam 25.00 It's worked out well for almost a week now, no .lock file issues at all and Bayes is working out quite well. The only drawback to this method of auto-learning is that Bayes will only be 90-100% confident for obvious spam (since it's learning spam from email scoring so highly). - Chris -----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Lucas Albers Sent: Saturday, June 12, 2004 2:58 PM To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: RE: [Mimedefang] SA/MIMEDefang performance tweaking [EMAIL PROTECTED] said: >> From: Chris Gauch [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] >> Is there any way to continue to use Bayes WITHOUT autolearn > I had the lock file problem. Just configure learn_to_journal and run a background sa-learn --rebuild job every hour. That will solve the lock problems. I encountered your exact problem on my external, and that solved it! -- Luke Computer Science System Administrator Security Administrator,College of Engineering Montana State University-Bozeman,Montana _______________________________________________ Visit http://www.mimedefang.org and http://www.canit.ca MIMEDefang mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://lists.roaringpenguin.com/mailman/listinfo/mimedefang _______________________________________________ Visit http://www.mimedefang.org and http://www.canit.ca MIMEDefang mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://lists.roaringpenguin.com/mailman/listinfo/mimedefang
