I've encountered exactly this problem ever since upgrading to 2.60; several times a day my system suddenly goes from having 1 or 2 spamds to having 40 or 50 of them. It goes into swap, the load average goes up to sixty or more, and the machine grinds to a halt. I've set up a perl script to kill all spamds and restart the spamd service if it sees more than 10 instances, but that's a hack - I'd rather just see the problem solved... -- Daniel Drucker / [EMAIL PROTECTED] ------------------------------------------------------- This SF.net email sponsored by: Enterprise Linux Forum Conference & Expo The Event For Linux Datacenter Solutions & Strategies in The Enterprise Linux in the Boardroom; in the Front Office; & in the Server Room http://www.enterpriselinuxforum.com _______________________________________________ Spamassassin-talk mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/spamassassin-talk
