What do the permissions on them all look like? Nothing in the BTS? Does feeding mail to "spamassassin" itself work? How about to sa-learn? Is your homedir mounted over NFS? BerkeleyDB (the db library used for those files) has "issues" with NFS. If all else fails, and you can reproduce this with sa-learn or spamassassin try strace'ing it to see exactly where it's getting confused. Oh, and try enabling the debug option for sa-learn, perhaps that will show you something interesting. -- Rob Weir <rweir@ertius.org> | mlspam@ertius.org | Do I look like I want a CC?
