Please run "bogofilter -V" to check the bogofilter and Berkeley DB versions, the first two lines are sufficient. Do this with either bogofilter version. Remember that if you're inadvertently going forth and back between Berkeley DB versions, your database environment may break like this. Going backwards isn't supported (so bogoutil -d before the upgrade, remove the database, downgrade, bogoutil -l), going forwards requires you to remove the environment _BEFORE_ the update.
I have rewritten parts of README.db after the 0.93.5 release, hence I'm adding the rewritten version below, perhaps it can help.
Installing bogofilter on a Debian testing box gives us:
ii bogofilter 0.93.5-1 a fast Bayesian spam filter
$ bogofilter -V
bogofilter version 0.93.5
Database: Sleepycat Software: Berkeley DB 4.3.27: (December 22, 2004I delete all the files in the db directory and run the following script (as I've had to rebuild a few times now<g>):
#!/bin/bash bogofilter -M -s -d /etc/bogofilter -I /home/karl/mail/zs-archived-spam2004 bogofilter -M -s -d /etc/bogofilter -I /home/karl/mail/zs-archived-spam2003 bogofilter -M -s -d /etc/bogofilter -I /home/karl/mail/s-archived-spam bogofilter -M -n -d /etc/bogofilter -I /home/karl/mail/z-archived2004 bogofilter -M -n -d /etc/bogofilter -I /home/karl/mail/archived bogofilter -M -n -d /etc/bogofilter -I /home/karl/mail/list-servers/EXIM bogofilter -M -n -d /etc/bogofilter -I chown Debian-exim.Debian-exim /etc/bogofilter/*
Everything works (not sure if it is tagging quite as much spam) then it ends ups stopping after about 48 hours.
This is on a Tyan MB with ECC memory, antec powersupply - I think a quite stable system running bind, dhcp,hylasfax, samba, nfs, imap all flawlessly. I would suspect falky hardware at this point except going back to the older version fixes things.
Only other thing I can suspect is that exim is threaded - could there be a locking problem I'm seeing running two requests at a time? I can imagine that 48 hours would be long enough to be filtering two messages at the same time. That would explain why most people running in a single thread POP service manner would not see this bug.
The basic fact is I am sure I recreated the databases and didn't upgrade and try to run the old data base (which if I remember would have failed at once.) Going back to the old version and once again reproducing the databases fixes the problem.
I can think that it would be easy to test by running two or three instances of bogofilter at the same time on some mail files. One can write a script that will fork and you might want to add it to your testing procedure. Hope this helps.
I hope I didn't sound off base here and hope I haven't ruffled any feathers, but I really do think that these should spend some time in unstable.
