firing off 15 but I'll take it back down and see what happens.
In most cases you shouldn't really need less than about 20 connections
sounds like a place to start. thanks.
PS: Could you post plain text rather than html if convenient?

is it better to run five children with 20 connections each, or 20 children
with five connections each?
Frank M. CookAssociation Computer Services, Inc.http://www.acsplus.com
so you are running 30 per child and 6 children? 180 total. how
many messages a day are you handling. I upped my children from 5 to 15
thinking that would help but it hasn't. I was thinking of taken
connections down to 5 or 6 on 15 children. maybe I have it
backwards? I don't have anyth
in
with a recommended number but I'm thinking the default may be way too high.
a lower number will cause each child to shut down sooner. when the max
number is reached the thread is stopped and a new one is created.

the silver lining instead the problems I've been having is that I learned
my rbl checking was screwed up. one of the things I did when my
spamassassin started to backup was to have my mailserver check three rbl's ahead
of spamassassin and simply throw out hits. the amount of spam went way
we ran a session with -D and saw messages saying the DB wasn't
installed. it is. we thought maybe the problem was an access list
and added the local IP to the list in case the DB was being blocked but that
didn't seem to help. we've turned Bayes off for now and now we're getting

it's getting more complicated. we didn't find any bayes files at all.
now I'm seeing some entries in the log saying autolearn=no and others saying
=unavailable. they almost alternate although perhaps the difference is a
function of the scan result.
the bottom line problem remains that spa

message checking to give an expiration routine time to do its thing.

right in thinking that requires a
database?

nothing jumped out
at me from the log. I don't remember if it stopped mid-message or seemed to be
waiting for the next one. I'll try to check the next time it
happens.I've never fed it any
messages. pretty sure the checking log says autolearn=no. however,
it's possible I need to actively
the rules documented anywhere or is it all in you expert's heads?
I'd think that it would be inefficient to check the lists twice. shouldn't
I get the best throughput by having spamd check both the sender and any
url's in the body against the lists I find most reliable?
Frank M. Cook
, and things returned to normal.
what would cause spamd to just stop? does it need to be cleared out
periodically with some kind of timer that stops and starts the service at
intervals? is there some other parameter that needs to be adjusted to keep
the individual processes from filling up?

Most people that have seen a slowdown in 3.x seem to be due to thrashing
due
to larger memory usage.
how much RAM is recommended for a box that does nothing besides
Spamassassin?

e I wasn't doing them in 2. I wasn't aware of other
changes from 2 to 3 that could be the cause. now if two used fewer
children, that could indeed be a smoking gun.

cf file do I need to edit to have spamassassin do this?

how is this controlled in version 3? We had the network tests turned off in
version 2 but after upgrading to version 3 it is taking 45 seconds to
process each message and the reports show network testing is being done even
though our local.cf says they are turned off.

this is an argument for simply rewriting the subject so that the user can
decide whether to block the mail with local rules, or no
I recently upgraded from version 2 to 3 and my
performance has gone to pot. It may just be that I need a much stronger
computer for this version but I suspect it may be doing a lot of RBL
checking. In version 2, I had all net checking turned off in
