Unfortunately I didn’t, it seems. :( I have macOS High Sierra 10.13.3 using SpamAssassin 3.4.1 on Perl 5.24 installed via MacPorts. When running SA with bayes enabled, the bayes.toks files grow indefinitely until the volume is full. This thread suggests the issue may only occur on an APFS volume: https://discussions.apple.com/thread/8203349 Trying to analyze the problem I noticed that the same situation occurs when running 'make test' for Mail::SpamAssassin the bayesdbm.t. My guess is that either SpamAssassin's Bayesdbm.pm module or one of it's dependencies is the culprit. Does anyone have suggestions as to how I should proceed in resolving this? For me moving the bayes file to a HFS+ volume is not an option. -- Palvelin.fi Hostmaster postmas...@palvelin.fi
