What exactly should happen when -max-children is reached? We run spamd with -m 30 and are starting to see some issues when we hit that number. In the log files I can see that it is not forking a new child like it is supposed to (Dec 19 04:16:22 spamav2 spamd[5159]: hit max-children limit (30): waiting for some to exit) but also, some of the spamd processes that already have accepted a message for checking a message never finish. For example, this morning at 4:17 am I received a spam that didn't have any spamassassin headers at all, so I look in the log and I see: Dec 19 04:16:32 spamav2 spamd[28306]: processing message <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> for tonyb:502.
But there is never an entry saying if the message was marked as clean or identified as spam. Should I be turning my max connections up or down to fix this problem? Any help and/or ideas are appreciated. Thanks, Tony B, CCNA, Network+ Systems Administration GO Concepts, Inc. / www.go-concepts.com Are you on the GO yet?
