Well, it does if qmail-scanner itself runs out of memory. I figure that would be the case regardless of whether I have altered it or not. However, it most likely will never affect anyone other than me, because I am the only one who reads the actual message into memory. For everyone else, if it works once, it will always work, because the message size is not related to anything. > > Given that you know the number of bytes required, can you > > pre-size the array > > without hitting the memory error, and *IF* you run out of memory, then > > automatically skip the razor spam check? > > Whaaa? > If you seriously want help, PLEASE TELL US THAT YOU'VE ALTERED THE > PROGRAM!!!! > How could we possibly know that??? I did. I'm not complaining either, I'm just asking if anyone knows of a method for doing that. > And the answer is no.

I can't support everything you know ;-) I don't think SpamAssassin suits my purposes, which is why I wrote my own plugin for qmail-scanner, and that is why I don't expect you to support my configuration. That is why I debug'ged my own code, worked out my own problems, and solved my own problems. BUT, as I said, I haven't looked, but if there is anything in the message which is loaded into memory by qmail-scanner (eg, the entire message for me, or perhaps just the to/from list) then this might be enough for qmail-scanner to die due to Out of Memory, and produce a tempfail, leaving behind the temporary files (if they have been created yet) as well as the working files. So, is it possible to ask perl "Give me a string/array of this size if you have enough memory, if not, then please tell me so I can do something else". Also, it might be wise to look into that practice for the rest of the strings/arrays that qmail-scanner uses. (I guess this takes perl back to the C origin where you need to malloc everything you need :) Regards, Adam _______________________________________________ Qmail-scanner-general mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/qmail-scanner-general
