I am getting the owner of one domain complaining that a large number of what he calls spam are getting through the filter (SFI v 3.1.3.605).

The last time I saw this happen I had to delete the contents or the corpus folder (the database) as it was suspected corrupt.

The logs are showing quite a few entries similar to this:

04/16/07 17:11:53:750 -- (2568) TSpamFilterForm - Begin LoadFromFile for corpus.db (db.dat)

I have just discovered that the server went down unexpectedly on 3rd April.  Could this be the problem and what can I do (apart from the obvious of UPS protection - if it was in fact a power glitch) to prevent it happening in the future.

Thanks for your help
