hello everyone, I have a problem that's making me miserable.
I'm running spamassassin-2.44-11.8.x on a shriek (RH9) box and am having a problem: spamd processes get spawned whenever a mail arrives but for a particular user, they never seem to finish. therefore I end up with a bunch of spamd instances that consume 100% of my cpu and make my box unusable. I've turned on debugging but the only thing I'm seeing that might cause alarm is the following: > Dec 3 23:40:45 beowulf spamd[13358]: debug: Failed to parse line in > SpamAssassin configuration, skipping: report_safe 0 whatever happened to report_safe?? I've read throught the Changes file but it doesn't mention it. I've also seen lines like this: > Dec 3 21:17:06 beowulf spamd[11975]: debug: 11975 Trying to get lock > on /home/fc/.spamassassin/auto-whitelist pass 28 which clearly indicates there's a problem with locking. when I looked in the /home/fc/.spamassassin I saw a bunch of auto-whitelist.lock* files which were not open by anyone. I removed the .lock files and killed all the spamd but they just come back... this might also be helpful: # lsof /home/fc/.spamassassin/auto-whitelist COMMAND PID USER FD TYPE DEVICE SIZE NODE NAME spamd 12611 fc 4u REG 58,4 3764285 5971 /home/fc/.spamassassin/auto-whitelist spamd 12679 fc 4u REG 58,4 3764285 5971 /home/fc/.spamassassin/auto-whitelist spamd 12770 fc 4u REG 58,4 3764285 5971 /home/fc/.spamassassin/auto-whitelist spamd 12870 fc 4u REG 58,4 3764285 5971 /home/fc/.spamassassin/auto-whitelist spamd 12953 fc 4u REG 58,4 3764285 5971 /home/fc/.spamassassin/auto-whitelist spamd 13071 fc 4u REG 58,4 3764285 5971 /home/fc/.spamassassin/auto-whitelist spamd 13080 fc 4u REG 58,4 3764285 5971 /home/fc/.spamassassin/auto-whitelist spamd 13274 fc 4u REG 58,4 3764285 5971 /home/fc/.spamassassin/auto-whitelist some more (possibly useful) output: # grep 12611 /var/log/maillog Dec 3 22:12:05 beowulf spamd[12611]: logmsg: info: setuid to fc succeeded Dec 3 22:12:05 beowulf spamd[12611]: info: setuid to fc succeeded Dec 3 22:12:05 beowulf spamd[12611]: debug: Failed to parse line in SpamAssassi n configuration, skipping: report_safe 0 Dec 3 22:12:05 beowulf spamd[12611]: logmsg: processing message <4-s4$$$e6$$pa- [EMAIL PROTECTED]> for fc:504, expecting 4582 bytes.
