importing another SA bayes db into an existing one

Post #1 of 4 (1086 views)

Hello,

I want to import a Spamassassin bayes database from one mail server to
another. The first mail server is running for quite a while now,
whereas the 2nd mail server is a newer host machine. The 1st server is
running an older SA version from the 2nd one.

Both servers are configured for site-wide bayes db.

sa-learn can import from a variety of file types, but it cannot import
from existing bayes_journal/_seen/_tokens files originated from some
other host.

Is there any way to achieve this ?

TIA

IIRC i did it with --import a couple weeks ago. copyed the bayes file from
server 1 to server 2 into spamd users .spamassassin directory an did a
--import. this went fine.
are you using the same db version on your servers? maybe a --rebuild would
do the trick if not.

Matthias

cup of coffee and will read more carefully next time :)
