[Spambayes] Re: DBRunRecoveryError: -30982, 'DB_RUNRECOVERY:

[Denis Howlett]

Hi folks,

First, thanks for a great product, I and my colleagues use SpamBayes and we
couldn't cope without it.

I have developed the toolbar-buttons-not-working problem where, though
SpamBayes continues to filter messages OK itself, The Delete as Spam and
Recover from Spam buttons don't do anything any more (all the others work
OK).

Looking in the log file I have:

bsddb._db.DBRunRecoveryError: (-30982, 'DB_RUNRECOVERY: Fatal error, run
database recovery -- fatal region error detected; run recovery')
 Moving and spam training message 'Your eBay Account Must Be Confirmed ' -
Training on message 'Your eBay Account Must Be Confirmed ' in 'Denis's
Folders/Inbox - pythoncom error: Python error invoking COM method.

database recovery -- fatal region error detected; run recovery')

So, I'm about to rebuild the database as you suggest in your FAQ.

However, I thought you might be interested to know that this started
happening because this morning I found that Outlook was running really
slowly, it seemed to take several seconds to do anything (almost as if it
was trying to do something and then timing out). I couldn't work out if this
was because of SpamBayes or affecting it, but SpamBayes too was working so
slowly that it was pretty much unusable. I tried to quit Outlook (this is
Outlook 2000 BTW, with Windows XP), and had to terminate the program. After
that the buttons wouldn't work.

So, my bet is that my database is corrupted because I quit in the middle of
SpamBayes doing something. This might be what happens to other people too?

Hope this is useful, if not, sorry to waste your time!

Regards,
Denis
