Matt, I'm running in a chroot, virtual server environment, so basically I do run into memory limitations. But I found where the problem BEGAN - and again, it looks like something with Bayes. Every night I have a cron job running that learns from a 'spamfile' that is created and fed by certain kinds of spam coming in. Typically, it reports learning 60-70 messages. On Thursday night, it ran and reported "Learned from 68 messages". Immediately after the cron job was run, procmail started reporting the out of memory errors that I saw the next day. There was also a new Bayes file created called bayes_toks.new - that has a file stamp of 5:44 a.m. Thursday, which would have been several hours after the cronjob, but well before I woke up and did anything to the system. Then, when the cron job ran last night, it reported: "Learned from 0 messages." - even though it had a 308 kb. spamfile fed to it. So I really think that something happened with the Bayes database that is in turn causing things to time out. Your suggestions about configuration of the spamassassin.lock file are very helpful, by the way -- I currently have Bayes disabled and I do notice improved performance, though of course I'd like to figure out what the problem is with Bayes. -Abigail ------------------------------------------------------- This SF.Net email sponsored by: Free pre-built ASP.NET sites including Data Reports, E-commerce, Portals, and Forums are available now.
