I've been trying to fix an error in the logs:
mimedefang-multiplexor: Slave n stderr: Cannot open bayes_path /var/spool/spamassassin/bayes R/W: File exists
where n is one of the slave numbers.
I've got bayes_path set to /var/spool/spamassassin/bayes in /etc/mail/spamassassin/sa-mimedefang.cf. The 4 bayes_* data files are in /var/spool/spamassassin and are staying up-to-date. I also see evidence that bayes is being used in the X-Spam-Score headers in messages that are flagged as spam. I tried setting bayes_path to /etc/mail/spamassassin which did indeed stop the errors but it also stopped spamassassin from using bayes.
I've seen references to this error on the mailing list/archives but I don't see any clear resolution. Has anyone found a solution? Because it appears to be working, I assume the log entry is more of an annoyance than a real error.
Thanks,
Randy
