[Spambayes] SpamBayes crashes silently on Mac OS X

[Kevin Yank]

Hi all,

I’m using the latest SpamBayes package for Mac OS X from 
http://entrian.com/sbwiki/MacOSXPackage.

Although SpamBayes runs perfectly for several days following 
installation, I find that after about a week of use (and training) the 
SpamBayes pop3proxy begins to crash silently while I am in the process 
of downloading email. The problem appears to worsen progressively until 
I am unable to download more than a dozen emails in one session without 
pop3proxy crashing.

The first time this happened, I bit the bullet, blew away my SpamBayes 
training data, and started from scratch. This alleviated the problem in 
the short term, but as my training database grew, the crashes returned 
and I am now back in a situation of having to restart pop3proxy after 
every 10-15 messages I download.

Any tips for diagnosing/correcting this issue?
