Ok, I got a handle on the situation. But I still got a questions: When spamd receives a message from spamc does spamd spawn a new spamd process?
I'm seeing that on my machine. I'm worried that for some reason spamc is not connecting to the spamd daemon running, instead spamc spawns a new spamd process for each message causing unnecessary processing... /Ian > I run a Communigate Pro server on Mac OS X.
