Package: spamassassin Version: 3.2.1-1.1 Severity: normal The warning
prefork: server reached --max-children setting, consider raising
it
is generated
by lib/Mail/SpamAssassin/SpamdForkScaling.pm:804:
if ($num_servers < $self->{max_children}) {
$self->need_to_add_server($num_idle);
} else {
info("prefork: server reached --max-children setting, consider raising
it\n");
}
I consider this premature. Spamd should warn when it would have to
spawn the max_children+1th instance, but not when it spawns the
max_children'th instance.
We operate a busy server and matched postfix's max_proc setting for
the transport spawning spamc to the value of max_children, and now
we often get this warning in the logs, when in fact all is going
according to plan.
