Cheryl, I'm having the same problem (see posting "spamd piling up - just killing me") on a Shriek (RH9) box running 2.44. 2.44 is the latest available from RH but it's been suggested to me that I should upgrade to 2.60 (unfortunately I can't do that at present since Theo Van Dinter's site is not making the .src files available) but if you have the same problem then it's not a 2.44 issue.
I'm not sure but I think the problems started with my upgrade to Shriek and I too seem to have most troubles with a single user whose account looks distinctly unremarkable. I'd love to hear whether you figured it out or have any other ideas as to how to troubleshoot. 1k thx - ekkis -----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Behalf Of Cheryl L.

In running the solaris pstack program, it appears that the spamd processes are stuck in the ham_func5 and memcopy routines called from ham_expand_table and ham_split_page. I've told my user to move his .spamassassin directory away and start up a new set of bayes databases. Perhaps this will alleviate the problem.
