Re: SpamProbe on Ubuntu 8.04 - Errors

Hi,

Yes, apparently the default installation is not linked against any database. I 
now run SpamProbe with the datbase reference and it finds the correct database.

E.g.,
spamprobe -d bdb:$HOME/.spamprobe train-spam ~/mail/incoming/IN.SPAM

What's new, however, is theat four files have appeared in the the directory 
where the sp_words file is stored which I have never seen before.

drwx------  2 nh nh 4.0K 2009-12-15 08:46 .
drwxr-xr-x 16 nh nh 4.0K 2010-01-02 19:02 ..
-rw-------  1 nh nh  24K 2010-01-02 17:11 __db.001
-rw-------  1 nh nh 160K 2010-01-02 17:11 __db.002
-rw-------  1 nh nh 264K 2010-01-02 17:11 __db.003
-rw-------  1 nh nh 464K 2010-01-02 17:11 __db.004
-rw-------  1 nh nh    0 2009-09-16 20:12 lock
-rw-------  1 nh nh  90M 2010-01-02 17:11 sp_words
-rw-------  1 nh nh 1.4K 2009-12-13 11:30 spamprobe.hdl

What are these __db.001 to 004 files about?
