[webmin-devel] [SpamAssassin 3.0 on Debian 3] Error messages

[Martin M. <mm...@me...>]

Hi all,

please could someone examine these error message?

Cannot open bayes databases /home/macmewes/.spamassassin/bayes_* R/O: ti=
e
failed: 
Cannot open bayes databases /home/macmewes/.spamassassin/bayes_* R/W: ti=
e
failed: Inappropriate ioctl for device
1 message(s) examined.

Recently I have installed SA 3.0 on my machine and filtering seems to ru=
n
OK. Anyway if a user selectes a message in Usermin to be reported to SA,
this error comes up.

The complete ~./spamassassin directory is completely owned by the user w=
ith

macmewes@ds217-115-144-166:~/.spamassassin$ ll

If I would delete the bayes_* then the next time spam is processed those
files would be created as

macmewes@ds217-115-144-166:~/.spamassassin$ ll

Which makes them unrenderable for the Usermin-User if he is not in the g=
roup
"mail". So in addition to this the SA-Module should check the permission=
s
and "chown" them back. Any hints?

bis dahin - kind regards
