Hey, folks -- I've got a weird one.
I've got two machines, production mailsenders both, running postfix on
solaris. Recently upgraded both of them to SA 2.61 (along with DB_File, as
needed), and seeing mail flowing through both of them, getting scored by
spamd and passed on, figured that all was well. Not so.
One of the two, every so often, has the annoying habit of one of its spamds
suddenly deciding to balloon into every available byte of memory, bringing
the machine to its knees. The other machine does not. Each time it
happens, though, it's triggered by a piece of what I'm assuming, from the
mailer and message-id, is spam, like so:
>> 09:35:38 postfix/cleanup[8475]: 6665E3206D: message-id=<[EMAIL PROTECTED]>
>> 09:35:38 postfix/qmgr[6916]: 6665E3206D: from=<[EMAIL PROTECTED]>, size=3663,
>> nrcpt=1 (queue active)
>> 09:35:38 spamd[10219]: info: setuid to spamfilter succeeded
>> 09:35:38 spamd[10219]: processing message <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> for spamfilter:3033.
>> 09:35:50 spamd[10219]: Use of uninitialized value in numeric gt (>) at
>> /usr/local/lib/perl5/5.6.1/sun4-solaris/DB_File.pm line 270.
>> 09:35:50 spamd[10219]: Deep recursion on subroutine "DB_File::AUTOLOAD" at
>> /usr/local/lib/perl5/5.6.1/sun4-solaris/DB_File.pm line 234.
Wham, everything goes to hell, carried along by process 10219, which
suddenly all of the available memory instead of its usual 22M. Same below:
>> 18:54:16 postfix/smtpd[15581]: connect from
>> wbar1.chi1-4-10-081-171.chi1.dsl-verizon.net[4.10.81.171]
>> 18:54:16 postfix/smtpd[15581]: E834032050:
>> client=wbar1.chi1-4-10-081-171.chi1.dsl-verizon.net[4.10.81.171]
>> 18:54:17 postfix/cleanup[12590]: E834032050: message-id=<[EMAIL PROTECTED]>
>> 18:54:17 spamd[15979]: info: setuid to spamfilter succeeded
>> 18:54:17 postfix/smtpd[15581]: disconnect from
>> wbar1.chi1-4-10-081-171.chi1.dsl-verizon.net[4.10.81.171]
>> 18:54:17 spamd[15979]: processing message <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> for spamfilter:3033.
>> 18:54:18 spamd[15979]: Use of uninitialized value in numeric gt (>) at
>> /usr/local/lib/perl5/5.6.1/sun4-solaris/DB_File.pm line 270.
>> 18:54:18 spamd[15979]: Deep recursion on subroutine "DB_File::AUTOLOAD" at
>> /usr/local/lib/perl5/5.6.1/sun4-solaris/DB_File.pm line 234.
I can't explain why one machine is seeing this and the other isn't -- I'm
looking for any configuration differences between the two, and I'm
suspecting that it's going to turn out to be a PEBCAK problem, somehow...
but I thought I'd toss it out and see if anyone else has seen this
behavior.
Thanks,
Adam
