[Mimedefang] bayes* R/O: tie failed: Inappropriate file type or format

[Lee Dilkie]

Hi,

I'm running FreeBSD 4.9, I upgraded to perl 5.8.4 (from 5.8.2), using the suggestions in the ports UPDATING, hopefully recompliing everything that depended on perl. SA had a minor upgrade at the same time (2.63_1 -> 2.63_2).

Anyway, I restarted MD and my logs contain..

Jun  5 15:40:18 spock mimedefang-multiplexor[29236]: Slave 0 stderr: Cannot open bayes databases /var/spool/MD-Quarantine/bayes_* R/O: tie failed: Inappropriate file type or format

the MD-Quarantine dir looks like

-rw-------   1 mailnull  wheel  - 2441216 Feb 27 08:31 bayes_toks.expire73038

which looks OK to me.

Anyone have a clue what I've done wrong? Or how to correct it?

TIA,
