No, but I _have_ noticed that SA can reach a load tipping point. If you start pushing spamd processes off into swap, it's all over. Better hope the email abates very soon, or you'll max out swap. First noticed that with 2.55 on a server which was also running a lightly-loaded but critical DB which got corrupted when swap maxed out. After fixing that I moved SA to a dedicated server of its own and used spamd -m 30 to limit number of processes to what I'd determined by experiment the server could handle. Since then there's been no such problem here. -- ----------------------------------------------------------------- Dan Wilder <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Technical Manager SSC, Inc. P.O.
