I run a Communigate Pro server on Mac OS X. Messages are passed to SA using rules. Today it has been running into problems. It grew during the day and culminated this night, when I had disable SpamAssassin out of the rules. It had been running fine for more than a week until now...
If I activate the SpamAssassin rule I will within a few seconds have loads of spamd and spamc processes running: ps -aux | grep spam daemon 20673 11.0 0.4 13200 6076 ??

It seems the SA processes won't finish. Also should there really be more than one instance of spamd running. What is the point of the spamd process in watchdog then? /Ian ------------------------------------------------------- This sf.net email is sponsored by: Jabber - The world's fastest growing real-time communications platform!
