Hi,
I have been testing a configuration of MD/SA for some time now. Late
yesterday afternoon, I added a new MX record which has now mean it
receiving considerably more mail coming through it. Although it seems to
be handling it fine, I am seeing a large amount of errors similar to
these below:
Sep 14 14:19:27 gxmx2.gxn.net lock: 25512 unlink of lock file
/var/spool/MIMEDefang-bayes/awl.lock failed: No such file or directory
Sep 14 14:19:28 gxmx2.gxn.net mimedefang-multiplexor[25512]: [ID 980602
mail.info] Slave 3 stderr: Use of uninitialized value in numeric gt (>)
at /usr/local/lib/perl5/site_perl/5.8.3/Mail/SpamAssassin/UnixLocker.pm
line 69.
Sep 14 14:19:28 gxmx2.gxn.net Use of uninitialized value in
concatenation (.) or string at
/usr/local/lib/perl5/site_perl/5.8.3/Mail/SpamAssassin/UnixLocker.pm
line 80.
I have Solaris 2.8, Sendmail 8.13.1, MD 2.43, SA 2.63
The relevant lines in the sa-mimedefang.cf file are:
use_bayes 1
bayes_auto_learn 1
bayes_path /var/spool/MIMEDefang-bayes/bayes
bayes_file_mode 0666
bayes_journal_max_size 10240000
bayes_expiry_max_db_size 50000000
bayes_auto_expire 1
bayes_learn_to_journal 1
auto_whitelist_path /var/spool/MIMEDefang-bayes/awl
auto_whiltelist_file_mode 0666
auto_whitelist_factor 0.5
Initially I had the journal size at 400K, so it was reaching this alot
quicker than before, hence the increase to 10M, but it still seems to be
kicking these errors out every now and then.
Can anyone shed any light on what is happening here ? And is it bad ?
Thanks,
Richard
