I've forgotten which version you said you are running, 2.63?
Yes, Ensim 4.0.1 comes with 2.63.
There are some known problems with 2.6x that can cause, or seem to cause, things like this.
1. You might have bigevil.cf. This will crash almost any machine these days. If so, get rid of it.
How do I find out if I have it? Where is it located?
2. There have been a few rules that would take really long times on certain pathelogical spams. I htink these are all fixed at this point, but I don't know how new or old your rulebase is.
I didn't change or add any rules to whatever came with the installation.
3. If you have too many spam children running you can run out of memory and start thrashing, which will kill the machine. The switch to limit the number of spam childred doesn't always seem to work in 2.63.
No memory issues. Only CPU is shooring up. Only one spamd seems to be running when that happens.
My suspicion is that you have more rules than you had before, spamd is taking longer, and between the processor speed, the number of spamds, the amount of memory, and the number of rules, you are running out of either memory or processor or both. If possible I'd try to cut down the number of spamd children.
How? Cnahe MaliScanner.conf?
Thanks, predrag
