Hi Marc,

        I am the one who did up the 2.01 FreeBSD port.  I hope to get the
spamass-milter port done soon but I just arrive back from a weeks vacation
so I will be playing catch-up over the new couple of days.

        This is the same problem I am seeing using the milter filter setup.
I was working on this problem with Craig a few weeks ago but then it was
interrupted with my vacation plans. Now that I am back I will look into it
some more.

        Here is what I have so far.....  spammass-milter, spamd, spamc works
great even under load until I see who jobs come through at the same time.  I
can simulate this using an email benchmark utility called 'postal' (it's in
the FreeBSD ports collection).  If I run one copy of the utility it will
work without any hangs.  If I run two copied then spamc/spamd seems to hang.
I think it's a race condition.  More to due with the timing of the spawned
processes than the volume of email.

        I don't currently have ktrace compiled into my kernel.  I will
compile a kernel with ktrace support today and see if I can get any more
detailed traces.

        Any information you have on this problem would help.

Subject: [SAtalk] Sendmail + spamassassin == hang?



Morning all ...

        First off, am running on a FreeBSD system, with as much as
possible installed from ports ..

        Compiled/installed sendmail-sasl (sendmail 8.12+milter), installed
spamassassin from ports, which is 2.01, and installed spamass-milter from
sourceforge ... got everything configured and running ... works like a
charm ... but ...

        After processing several messages, it just appear to 'hang' ...

        syslog for sendmail shows:

Feb  9 17:02:56 earth sendmail[4316]: g19KwudP004316: Milter (spamassassin):
timeout before data read
Feb  9 17:02:56 earth sendmail[4316]: g19KwudP004316: Milter (spamassassin):
to error state
Feb  9 17:02:56 earth sendmail[4316]: g19KwudP004316: Milter (spamassassin):
init failed to open
Feb  9 17:02:56 earth sendmail[4316]: g19KwudP004316: Milter (spamassassin):
to error state

        Restarting spamass-milter appears to fix the problem ... but that
appears to also be a dead-code project on sourceforge :(  Is there
something else I can/should be doing?

        thanks ...
