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

some more (possibly useful) output:

re: 4.9

# date
Wed Dec  3 23:59:12 PST 2003

lost e-mail? or did it get sent and I can clean them out... or what? what
else can I look at?  help!

TIA - ekkis
