Hi Tom,

Good question!  The probe_txn function attempts to "join" the Berkeley
DB environment.  When that fails and the bogofilter_dir doesn't contain
any log files, then bogofilter runs without transactions.

Just use bf_copy and you'll have a new directory without any
transaction related files.  I've successfully used the following
command sequence:


   bf_copy bogodir bogotmp
   mv bogodir bogodir.old
   mv bogotmp bogodir

HTH,

David
