I recently installed spamassassin (debian testing, using postfix and procmail), and have been getting this phenomenon where I get lots of spamd processes that basically take the server over, and slow things down hugely. I've had some spamd processes that were lasting 5-10 minutes!

I "disconnected" postfix from procmail, so that spamd would no longer filter the mail, and I still have some spamd processes hanging about, and slowing down the server.

1) Do I have to kill all of thos processes to get rid of them? Will the mail be lost?

2) Is there a way to nice spamd, so that this doesn't happen?

Thanks!
