[SAtalk] Another spamd failure to add to yesterday's slew

[Robert Abatecola]

Just wanted to add my report to the rest. I've been running spamassassin for over a year and have never had anything like this happen. Yesterday I looked in on a mail server that had stopped responding to all attempts to contact it. Fortunately I had a session already open to the machine. I was able to determine that there were hundreds of spamd processes running. The load average was hovering around 90.

The machine is running redhat 7.2 and SA 2.41. I have not done any diagnostic work on it. Once I killed all the spamd processes and changed it to run with -L the machine settled down and is now running normally.
