Re: a few questions on spamdb
I wonder how people are coping with master downtime when using spamd? Is it a good idea to regularly dump spamd-white into a file, rsync it to the backup carp server, and load these IPs in a separate table? I was thinking of lowering whiteexp on spamd as well (to have a leaner DB) From what I gather from old posts, there is no safe way of copying /var/db/spamd to the backup server. Am I wrong here? Please wait a few days.

On the advice of Bob Beck I did it when changing firewalls a while back. I took the old one off the internet, copied the file to the new one, swapped the two boxes, plugged in the ADSL and voila! Nothing broke. I think there is a caveat about differing arches but that is probably not a prob for you. From the land down under: Australia. Do we look umop apisdn from up over?

I was thinking of lowering whiteexp on spamd as well (to have a leaner DB) This is what I currently do (as of now, 14:20 local) and I don't even greylist, all I do is load the white table and those go to the real mailserver if I'm on the backup box. I don't even run spamd - so what If I only talk to familiar people while I'm failed onto my backup machine. but.. From what I gather from old posts, there is no safe way of copying /var/db/spamd to the backup server. Am I wrong here? Not while it's running. if spamd is stopped yes.. but...
