Apologies if this gets double-posted; my earlier response didn't make it through.
1. Regarding spamd processes: setting (upping) the value of -m does not seem to affect the number of spamd child processes spawned (I always see two running). Perhaps we are never under heavy enough load to spawn more. 2. I don't recall ever setting any minimal size of messages to be scanned. Where is this set, in Q-S? In spamd invocation? 3. I don't believe softlimit factors in here. My understanding is the recommendation by Q-S's author to increase softlimit is for users who (using the run scripts from life with qmail or qmailrocks) were already were using softlimit and so needed to allocate more memory than before. But if you weren't using softlimit, there's not really a need to do so. There are long threads on this on the web... Regardless, I did try calling tcpserver and sslserver with softlimit - m 20000000 and even 450000000. I am wondering: if spamd actually is timing out, how might this error be manifested in the logs? I've scoured qmail-queue.log, spamd's log, even /var/log/messages, but I can't see any timeout-related errors. Thanks again for any assistance. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ This SF.net email is sponsored by: SourcForge Community SourceForge wants to tell your story. http://p.sf.net/sfu/sf-spreadtheword _______________________________________________ Qmail-scanner-general mailing list Qmail-scanner-general@lists.sourceforge.net https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/qmail-scanner-general
