I moved the spambayes.messageinfo.db out of the way and restarted last 
night. A new one has been generated and so far no more crashes :)

I couldn't determine what would make it crash, only that it did fairly 
frequently. I changed my KMail settings to run a pre-command on fetch, 
which restarted sb_server.py each time before collecting mail. About 1/2 
of my mail ended up with the exception error in the headers.

All the training I've done (and still do) has been by having Spambayes 
cache the messages it's fetched which I train on the http://
localhost:8880/review page. Python is 2.3.1 (latest from Debian unstable/
Sid).

mrowe at jamaro:~$ spambayes-1.0a6/utilities/which_database.py 
Pickle is available.
Dumbdbm is available.
Dbhash is available.
Bsddb[3] is available.

Your storage hammie.db is a: dbhash

It still failed with the same error when I temporarily switched to using a 
pickle with a new hammie.db.

Would my old spambayes.messageinfo.db be of any use?
