pre2?

If not, upgrade to pre2 and see if it goes away.

If so, then how are you starting and calling spamd?

Subject: Re:  Bayes - cannot write to /tmp/spamd-XXX-init/.spamassassin/bayes_journal

Yes - running pre2. Installed it this morning.

Here's me startup options

-d -x --max-conn-per-child=25 -u spamd

hmm.. this is the same issue as was addressed in bug 3334

Subject: Re:  Bayes - cannot write to /tmp/spamd-XXX-init/.spamassassin/bayes_journal

It apprears it wasn't fully addressed as I am still seeing the bug. 
Aparently - it's not fixed.

I've had this problem for some time. Just noticed we were up to pre2 and 
thought that it's something that really does need to be fixed.

I don't know if this is significant - but I have moved the directory 
where I keep the bayes database in case there's something out there that 
is caching something.

Subject: Re:  Bayes - cannot write to /tmp/spamd-XXX-init/.spamassassin/bayes_journal

Here's part of my local.cf file

auto_whitelist_path /var/spamd/.spamassassin
auto_whitelist_file_mode 777

bayes_auto_learn_threshold_spam 15.0
bayes_auto_learn_threshold_nonspam -2.0
auto_whitelist_factor 0.2
bayes_path /var/spamd/.spamassassin/bayes
bayes_file_mode 777
bayes_expiry_max_db_size 800000

Subject: Re:  Bayes - cannot write to /tmp/spamd-XXX-init/.spamassassin/bayes_journal

I don't believe it has anything to do with a local config change.

Can you look in your SpamAssassin.pm file, find the compile_now sub and
copy the last 5 lines or so, and then find the sed_path sub and copy
the last 3 lines or so.

Michael

Just to clear up the /tmp-confusion: When spamd starts up, it once processes a 
single dummy message to ensure all modules are pre-loaded and variable caches 
are initialized. This is done with /tmp/spamd-$PID-init as the home dir.

That code isn't from pre2.  Can you check and make sure you actually
installed the pre2 release.

Michael

Subject: Re:  Bayes - cannot write to /tmp/spamd-XXX-init/.spamassassin/bayes_journal

Well - I like to think I did.

Istalled as follows:

perl Makefile.pl
make
make install

So - what else do I need to do?

I verified that I downloaded the latest version. The date on the file - 
the ZIP file - for SpamAssassin.pm id May 28.

Subject: Re:  Bayes - cannot write to /tmp/spamd-XXX-init/.spamassassin/bayes_journal

It appears that the ZIP file contents might not be the latest version. 
The unpacked distribution has a different date on that file.

Subject: Re:  Bayes - cannot write to /tmp/spamd-XXX-init/.spamassassin/bayes_journal

OK - I have the latest version now and problem solved.

However -- the download page does not point to the latest and greatest 
version. You might want to fix that.

long fixed
