Weird Memory Problem

[Will Kruss]

Hi All,   I'm having an issue with a server that processes a lot of emails.   We run three 64-bit dual opteron machines with 1GB of RAM in each (shortly to be 2GB). However, we start SPAMD with about 15 child processes, each with a max requests per child to 50 requests. This seems to work okay generally, with most SPAMd child processes using just over 120mb of RAM.   However, every now and then we have a SPAMd process which uses over 800mb and brings the box to a halt. Killing the process brings everything back to life and SpamD continues processing mail normally.   The machines are only running SPAMd with no other processes running.   We do have some custom rules from SARE and a couple of others (chickenpox/antidrug/weeds2/bogusviruswarnings).   We do not run DNS and have use_razor2, use_dcc, use_pyzor, use_bayes all disabled.   Any suggestions would be great, as it looks like I'm going to have to downgrade to SPAM2 shortly if I can't work it out.   Thanks, - Will Webstrike Solutions http://www.webstrikesolutions.com [EMAIL PROTECTED] The only host with the first 12 months free!!
