I happened to need to restart our mail server today, and when I tailed
the maillog (paranoia runs deep), I noticed this message:
May 3 15:11:17 meow mimedefang-multiplexor: Slave 0 stderr: cannot
write to /var/spool/MIMEDefang_journal, Bayes db update ignored
Here is the /var/spool/MIMEDefang directory:
[cat at meow MIMEDefang]# ls -lad

I changed MIMEDefang_journal to -rwxrwxrwx to see if that would make a
difference. It didn't.
Here are my bayes-related entries in
/etc/mail/spamassassin/sa-mimedefang.cf:

bayes_auto_learn_threshold_nonspam 0.5

Here is my system's config:
Fedora Core 1
[cat at meow root]# uname -a
Linux meow.srar.com 2.4.22-1.2149.nptlsmp SMP i686 athlon i386 GNU/Linux
[cat at meow root]# perl -v
This is perl, v5.8.1 built for i386-linux-thread-multi
Can anyone clue me into what I need to do to fix it?
TIA,
-Loren
