Subject: Re: tie failed
Could someone please translate this to n00bese with helpful
suggestions/comments? It doesn't happen with all messages. I just
noticed
this while tailing the mail log. THANKS - John
Feb 21 22:26:10 Luke spamd[5590]: spamd: setuid to elizabeth succeeded
Feb 21 22:26:10 Luke spamd[5590]: bayes: cannot open bayes databases
/var/.spamassassin/bayes_* R/O: tie failed: Permission denied
That path looks fishy to me too, does user elizabeth have a valid home
directory?
YES.
As a newbie, I need to know exactly what the tie failed msg means and when
did it "fail"? IOW, is the issue that Bayes cannot be utilized for
determining if a msg is spam, or does that part work OK but tokens cannot be
written in the autolearn process?
IOW, my Bayes is detecting the spam properly[at least most of the time]:
X-Spam-Status: Yes, score=136.7 required=5.0
tests=BAYES_99,DNS_FROM_RFC_POST,
FORGED_RCVD_HELO,FROM_HAS_MIXED_NUMS,MSGID_FROM_MTA_ID,
RAZOR2_CF_RANGE_51_100,RAZOR2_CF_RANGE_E4_51_100,
RAZOR2_CF_RANGE_E8_51_100,RAZOR2_CHECK,RCVD_IN_BL_SPAMCOP_NET,
SARE_SUB_CASH_CHAR,SARE_SUB_ENC_ISO2022JP,URIBL_AB_SURBL,URIBL_BLACK,
URIBL_JP_SURBL,URIBL_OB_SURBL,URIBL_SBL,URIBL_SC_SURBL,URIBL_WS_SURBL
autolearn=spam version=3.1.7
(And it says it autolearned, so maybe this is just one of the ones that
worked OK??)
I also see an occasional message header that includes
"autolean=unavailable" - It that what ends up in the messages where the tie
fails?? I don't get the intermittent nature of this.
Thanks - John
