Re: spamprobe-1.1x7 released

Any ideas how well crash and recovery are working with the Hash database ?
Considering all of my DB's eventually grow to > 40MB .. I might as well use the hash DB and then ignore them.
But I am concerned about stability issues ... such as when the system crashes in the middle of a spamprobe ,
or when spamprobe itself gets stuck (This happens to me about once a month, I get one spamprobe totally stuck,
which then locks up procmail which locks up sendmail and I end up with zillions of stuck processes ...)
If you kill spamprobe at unoportune times how badly does the Hash DB get hit ? Better or worse then PBL ?
Is locking still done the same way ?
