I have tried this
with no success, The issue we are having is that it can take upto 4 mins for
spamc to realize that the spamd host is not running. I have tried to use
the –t option with spamc but that only seams to effect how long spamc will
wait on spamd after the connection is made. If I stop the spamd process
on the remote host, mail is delivered fine, but if the remote host drops off
the network, this is what the error log is showing:
Here is an example of
the log file when this is happening:
Jul 8
14:03:10 mail1 spamc[14952]:
connect() to spamd at 10.1.1.100 failed, retrying (1/3): Connection timed
out
Jul 8
14:04:44 mail1 spamc[14952]:
connect() to spamd at 10.1.1.100 failed, retrying (2/3): No route to
host
Jul 8
14:05:30 mail1 spamc[14952]:
connect() to spamd at 10.1.1.100 failed, retrying (3/3): No route to
host
Jul 8
14:05:31 mail1 spamc[14952]:
connection attempt to spamd aborted after 3 retries
Jul 8
13:58:51 mail1 spamc[14619]:
connect() to spamd at 10.1.1.100 failed, retrying (1/3): No route to
host
Jul 8
14:02:01 mail1 spamc[14619]:
connect() to spamd at 10.1.1.100 failed, retrying (2/3): Connection timed
out
Jul 8
14:05:11 mail1 spamc[14619]:
connect() to spamd at 10.1.1.100 failed, retrying (3/3): Connection timed
out
Jul 8
14:05:12 mail1 spamc[14619]:
connection attempt to spamd aborted after 3 retries
As you can see we are
getting two different error messages in the log file, No
Route to host and
Connection Timed Out
During testing we
were running spamc out of procmail with –d 10.1.1.100 –t 15 as the
options
Anyone have any
ideas?

Use the
timeout switch when calling spamc. Mail will then be delivered as normal, but
without any SA info.

Is anyone here using spamc on a
remote host system wide?
If so what are you doing to
ensure that if the spamd system fails that mail will still be
delivered?
