I'm running SA-2.1 under daemontools and am using softlimits (like ulimits) to limit the amount of memory a process can use.
It's really weird. When I started using 2.1 spamd, I had the memory limit set to 7Mb. This worked - for a while. Then SA started crashing saying it was out of memory - daemontools automatically restarts it - but it was still out of memory. Running it from the command line said - it was out of memory. So I upped it to 9Mb and it was happy again. Just now I notices spamd was swallowing quite a bit of CPU, and then I noticed the PID was changing - i.e. it was crashing and restarting. Sure enough, out of memory. I've now upped it to 10Mb and it's happy again. By out of memory I mean this is even before you've shoved a message via spamc into it. This is really weird. I mean, it can't be happy running in 8M one day and 10 the next? WTF!!! Any ideas? Unless SA alters itself automatically, this install hasn't changed one bit throughout this process, and yet now it's acting differently than it did a few weeks ago. Oh yeah, RH7.2 and I'm running it as: #!/bin/sh #/service/SpamAssassin/run exec /usr/local/bin/softlimit -a 10000000 /usr/bin/spamd -F 1 -L -x \ -u spamc > /var/log/spamd.log 2>&1 -- Cheers Jason Haar Information Security Manager Trimble Navigation Ltd.
