Store and lookup SpamAssassin bayes in mySQL

Post by katip » 2017-05-01 19:09

i hope and suppose, using a database will speed up bayes checks and trainings in SA.

First of all we create a DB for SA operations if we don't have any yet (otherwise we can use the existing one) and following tables in it (and don't overlook that INSERT after creating bayes_global_vars table):

Code: Select all

CREATE TABLE bayes_expire (
  id int(11) NOT NULL default '0',
  runtime int(11) NOT NULL default '0',
  KEY bayes_expire_idx1 (id)
) ENGINE=InnoDB;

CREATE TABLE bayes_global_vars (
  variable varchar(30) NOT NULL default '',
  value varchar(200) NOT NULL default '',
  PRIMARY KEY  (variable)
) ENGINE=InnoDB;

INSERT INTO bayes_global_vars VALUES ('VERSION','3');

CREATE TABLE bayes_seen (
  id int(11) NOT NULL default '0',
  msgid varchar(200) binary NOT NULL default '',
  flag char(1) NOT NULL default '',
  PRIMARY KEY  (id,msgid)
) ENGINE=InnoDB;

CREATE TABLE bayes_token (
  id int(11) NOT NULL default '0',
  token binary(5) NOT NULL default '',
  spam_count int(11) NOT NULL default '0',
  ham_count int(11) NOT NULL default '0',
  atime int(11) NOT NULL default '0',
  PRIMARY KEY  (id, token),
  INDEX bayes_token_idx1 (id, atime)
) ENGINE=InnoDB;

CREATE TABLE bayes_vars (
  id int(11) NOT NULL AUTO_INCREMENT,
  username varchar(200) NOT NULL default '',
  spam_count int(11) NOT NULL default '0',
  ham_count int(11) NOT NULL default '0',
  token_count int(11) NOT NULL default '0',
  last_expire int(11) NOT NULL default '0',
  last_atime_delta int(11) NOT NULL default '0',
  last_expire_reduce int(11) NOT NULL default '0',
  oldest_token_age int(11) NOT NULL default '2147483647',
  newest_token_age int(11) NOT NULL default '0',
  PRIMARY KEY  (id),
  UNIQUE bayes_vars_idx1 (username)
) ENGINE=InnoDB;
bayes_vars table needs 1 (and only 1) user. just insert it with id "1" and username "unknown" (without quotes).

that's all with mySQL.

---------------------------------------------------------------

in etc/spamassassin we write a new .cf (mySQL_bayes.cf for instance) with following content:

Code: Select all

# mySQL bayes

ifplugin Mail::SpamAssassin::Plugin::Bayes

bayes_store_module Mail::SpamAssassin::BayesStore::MySQL

bayes_sql_dsn DBI:mysql:<db_name>:127.0.0.1:3306
bayes_sql_username <mySQL_user_name>
bayes_sql_password <mySQL_password>
bayes_sql_override_username unknown

endif # Mail::SpamAssassin::Plugin::Bayes
that's all with cf.

---------------------------------------------------------------

before proceeding, we make a backup of old flat file database:

Code: Select all

sa-learn.exe --siteconfigpath="<_path_to_your_etc\spamassassin>" --dbpath "<_path_in_your_OS>\.spamassassin>" --backup > "<_path_in_your_OS>\.spamassassin>\backup\bayes_backup.bak"
now it's time to restart SA service to see the spamd.log for any errors before continuing.
(it's a good idea to pause HMS at that stage if it's a spam-busy server. bayes won't work reliable or at all till next step is finished)
if all looks ok, we're almost done.

as last step, we import old flat file database to mySQL by --restore:

Code: Select all

sa-learn.exe --restore="<_path_in_your_OS>\.spamassassin\backup\bayes_backup.bak" -D
(-D is useful to see if there is any error. otherwise not needed)
note that this may take some time (in my box 2-3 minutes for ~ 180.000 tokens from ~ 5MB file) and command line seems hanging. no worry.

that's all. resume HMS if paused, see if all is running as expected.

training is as usual. you don't need to put any --dbpath or --backup or --sync in your sa-learn batchfile commands anymore. just --spam and --ham are fine.

you may want to backup and delete below files in <_path_in_your_OS>\.spamassassin directory. they're retired ;) :
bayes_journal
bayes_toks
bayes_seen

if you fail to make it work or something goes wrong or you don't see any benefit in using a DB for bayes, reverting to old config is very easy.
just delete mySQL_bayes.cf, restore above flat files (if deleted), restart spamd.

Hi,
I tried your procedure. But if I use sa-learn.exe, it appears an error message like this:
"The program can't start because libmysql__.dll is missing from your computer. Try reinstalling
the program to fix this problem"
I find the .dll inside perl folder, and I tried to copy everywhere, but nothing has changed.
Anyone can help me?

I thought about this and that was my first instinct. But then i thought that this was an issue of spamassassin and mysql - went would the dll in an unrelated softwares program directory help?

My 'guess' was that most people who have followed this tutorial, would have had MySQL as the hMailserver database.

Actually reading the original post though, I agree with you. That won't help.

It needs to be in the same directory as the sa-learn.exe

Re: Store and lookup SpamAssassin bayes in mySQL

Post by katip » 2018-02-19 05:24

indeed, it's "libmysql__.dll" (with double underscore), not "libmysql.dll"
i don't remember what i did then. i was using Strawberry Perl and it actually has a "libmysql__.dll". i see now that i copied it to SA folder on 27.04.2017, my post was on 01.05.2017. so, very likely i have had the same problem but forgot to mention about it & Strawberry.

my guess:
download Strawberry Perl from http://strawberryperl.com/releases.html (zip or portable one)
find libmysql__.dll file from \c\bin folder and extract it to SA folder where sa-learn.exe resides and see if it helps.

pls post back the outcome so i can edit my post. thanks.

Yep, that seems to match the consensus of opinion: https://www.google.co.uk/search?q=perl+libmysql__.dll and something Tunis has done in the past viewtopic.php?p=195484#p195484

nope, it should be something about 5 MB!! are you sure we're talking about that one with double underscore??

mine is 5.297.152 bytes dated 28.09.2016 v. 5.7.16.0
check original one in Strawberry once again. maybe it got corrupted when extracting/copying.

I 've seen that hasn't double score, only one...but anyway, i 've tried to rename it with double score, and didn't solve it.
I 've tried to extract the libmysql__.dll from a new strawberry perl installation and use it under SA, and nothing changes.

I already have a mysql.xs.dll, and I've tried to substitute it with a newer version, but it doesn't work.
An error says "this is not a valid Win32 application" (!!!)
I thought, it was most simple to use Mysql with Spamassassin :(

Re: Store and lookup SpamAssassin bayes in mySQL

Someone wrote that has more performances, but overall if I can use it with Mysql, why can't I do it?
P.s.: I am already using the builtin database

I thought, it was most simple to use Mysql with Spamassassin :(
It works for me using ActiveState Perl... SA version 3.4.0, Bayes on MySQL since May 1. 2017... Windows 2K3 R2 SE.

Ahem... I can't find mysql.xs.dll on my system (?)

One thing I noticed... My path.config file says:

DEF_RULES_DIR=./share/spamassassin
LOCAL_RULES_DIR=./etc/spamassassin
LOCAL_STATE_DIR=./share

sa-learn DEBUG says:
maj 1 17:09:22.318 [3432] dbg: generic: Perl 5.008009, PREFIX=., DEF_RULES_DIR=.\share\spamassassin, LOCAL_RULES_DIR=.\etc\spamassassin, LOCAL_STATE_DIR=C:\Perl\site/var/spamassassin

Seems like a previously hardcoded path was changed...

sorry, as OP i have no other clue.
i had 2 installations, one with Strawberry Perl and another one with ActiveState Perl. both were running fine.
after changing to Linux version i still keep them (disabled). i remember i had to copy some mysql related files here and there. one for sure: libmysql__.dll to SA folder in both setups.

BTW, it wasn't worth, there was no noticeable benefit. opening a database for 5-10MB text is anyway useless/excessive i think, unless you want some statistics. once SorenR posted an interesting thing about word stats.

Perhaps this or it could trigger an idea ???

Now I've this error, after following your link (copy of libmysql__.dll):
SA-LEARN.EXE - Entry Point Not Found
The procedure entry point mysql_get_parameters cound not be located in the dynamic link library libmysql__.dll
I've 2 choices now:
1) leave the configuration as it is with bayes spamassassin builtin database;
2) uninstall Strawberry Perl with PADRE, and try to install ActivePerl;
find "mysql.xs.dll" in \strawberry\perl\site\lib\auto\DBD\mysql\
copy it to <Spamassassin folder>\runtime\lib\auto\DBD\mysql\
I don't find mysql.xs.dll in that path, probably the Jam Software version
of Spamassassin previously installed it.

I know this a old topic, but it seems to me all contributors in this topic seem to forgot to distinguish between 32-bit and 64-bit SpamAssassin and Perl installations, so i post this just for reference if anyone finds this through search

64-bit (strawberry) perl -> libmysql__.dll (double underscore)

32-bit (strawberry) perl -> libmysql_.dll (single underscore)


@jimimaseye maybe move this topic to the spamassassin subforum?
