build 3.5.3.674 LOGFILE: We use White- and Blacklistfiles exporting as txt-files from an database and save at read-only-files every 5 minutes. When this files are genereated and spamfilter will access this files at the same time, the files not exist, so SF will create them, but SF is unable to create this files, because the service does not have rights there. So SF crashes and the whole machine is frozen!

kp4711, You are being bitten by the EXACT same issue that I actually created my own, sloppy workaround for. We have our backup server receiving updates from a stored procedure writing files over a WAN. When we did this every 5 minutes, we had locked files constantly. When we changed the export schedule to 2 hours, the problem only surfaced once in a 2 week period or so. However, often, 2 hours is too long to wait when we make an update so we wrote a script to allow us to force the updates. The script first stops the remote service, waits 15 seconds, pushes the files up and then starts the service. We are now, studying the ramifications of converting our backup to the SFE mode as it will grab all the domain and filter setting from the primary automatically. There are a few "hitches" is this for us (like the forward to SMTP server settings are different) but still, it looks promising. ------------- The Desperado Dan Seligmann.

We're not able to replicate this problem, so far in all cases an error is logged as above, but SpamFilter continues to function properly. Do you see a crash *every* time this happens, or is the crash sporadic?

As an update to my post ... I never get a crash ... I just get a mangled list which windows seems to then lock and SF reads a dammaged list and then can not write to it. However, I just checked my monitor logs (we actually detect this failure) and the las time this happened was Jan-05-07 so it is not a "real" issue for us. ------------- The Desperado Dan Seligmann.

@logsat: No not a crash at every time when this error is occured in SF Logfile, but when the system is crashes this ist the LAST entry in SF logfile so i think that is the reason for system crash. some more information: the UNC-Path is a network share on a SAMBA-Share of a LINUX DEBIAN System
