Hello, We are running SpamAssassin server wide via procmail and sendmail through /etc/procmailrc . We are having a serious load problem even using the spamc/spamd. The spamd processes completely hog the CPU to the point sendmail panics and reports load problems in the syslog.
Below is the load report of our system. After starting spamd in daemon mode (spamd -d), it takes maybe 15 minutes for the processes to reach the state below. Any suggestions on how to remedy this problem is appreciated.
