You all keep referring to the DB file. Where will I find it? And if I am to delete it prior to the --restore, what file? Look at the script attached, and if possible tell me whats wrong if it is. I am probably complicating the issue in that the attached script is run every morning at 10am to process the ham/spam I have dragged and dropped into the correct folders. This is because I run as root, but all mail fetching and processing is done by the unpriviledged user gene. Hence the tomfoolery with the script to isolate me from this old fart. I am not 100% convinced that my sa-learn sessions are doing me any good, I have fed one outfits daily messages to sa-learn --spam for a year now, and they are still walking right on by SA. As I am not savvy on lock files, its possible that the addition of a lock or two might be in order, something to stall my script if it fires off when spamd is active, or vice-versa. Something else odd here, running spamassassin --lint -D does not generate those errors when run as root... Nor does it when run as gene. And occasionally it generates a different error number: bayes: unknown packing format for bayes db, please re-learn: 73 at /usr/lib/perl5/vendor_perl/5.10.0/Mail/SpamAssassin/BayesStore/DBM.pmline 1883. bayes: unknown packing format for bayes db, please re-learn: 76 at /usr/lib/perl5/vendor_perl/5.10.0/Mail/SpamAssassin/BayesStore/DBM.pmline 1883. bayes: unknown packing format for bayes db, please re-learn: 73 at /usr/lib/perl5/vendor_perl/5.10.0/Mail/SpamAssassin/BayesStore/DBM.pmline 1883. Note the 76 in the 2nd line. >On Sat, May 2, 2009 at 2:34 PM, Gene Heskett <gene.hesk...@verizon.net> wrote: >> Greetings; >> >> 1.
