I don't use mandrake, but the linux distros I'm aware of set those things dynamically based on your system resources. If you want to see what the value is, try the command "sysctl -a | grep file" (as root of course), and note the values of fs.file-max and fs.file-nr. If you are actually near the system limit, there should be some facility for adjusting that number at boot time - quite possibly in the file /etc/sysctl.conf or similar. If the number of open files is much less than file-max, then the problem is likely the ulimit parameter for the user id which runs spamd, and you'd need to use whatever methods mandrake provides for adjusting that limit. e
