Hi:

We have been running SpamAssassin 2.31 for some time now without
problem. We have been using spamc/spamd in the following way:

/usr/bin/spamd -d -a -s local2

And in procmail:

:0fw
| /usr/bin/spamc


Suddenly today spamd seems to have gone bad. When a message is piped
to spamc nothing is returned. A spamd process is forked and it seems
to go in some kind of a never ending loop and never send anything
back. Of course this makes the procmail process hang, which makes the
sendmail process hang until there are so many processes on the
machine... you get the picture.

Changing the procmail recipie to just do /usr/bin/spamassassin -P -a
works fine.

Has anyone experienced this before, or know what is wrong? As far as I
can tell nothing has changed configuration wise that should affect
spamassasin in the least.

Doing an strace on the spamd process, it seems to be quite interested
in reading the file /etc/protocols again and again. I don't know if
that helps. I will be digging into it furthur unless someone knows
right off what is going on.

Thanks
