During the past couple of days I have noticed log entries showing that spamassassin's daemon refused connections from spamc on our two mail servers. Today, our local mail server was so bogged down I was forced to reset it. When 'initd' got to spamassassin, the server just hung and would not continue the boot process. I waited for almost five minutes but it didn't time out or continue. I was forced to mount the drive in another system without local mail services (only nullmailer) and disable the /etc/rcX.d/S19spamassassin links for spamd. Just as a precaution, I disabled spamassassin on the remote server as well. I have not yet tried to simply turn off spamd in /etc/defaults/spamassassin but have one non-critical server I can try this in. Unfortunately, I don't quite know how to force a Debian server to stay in runlevel 1 during the boot process.
If anyone knows why this was happening and/or how to fix it, I would be most appreciative. -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble? Contact [EMAIL PROTECTED]
