Hi! Whenever I enable either pyzor or dcc (or both), spamd hangs and spamc doesn't return until the spamd process is killed. While running, it tries to consume all available CPU time.
In short (more details below), here are the debug logs: debug: Pyzor is available: /usr/bin/pyzor debug: entering helper-app run mode logmsg: server hit by SIGCHLD server hit by SIGCHLD That is, the helper-app never returns. Only if the forked spamd child is manually killed. Without pyzor/dcc, or when fed through spamassassin (with dcc and pyzor), there are no problems. I had this issue already in the past with Spamassassin 2.64. Back then I thought the problem would resolve with v3. Apparently, as with v3.0.2, it still persists! :-) Is it possible to somehow debug the helper-app run mode? But now on to the details: Versions used: OS: SuSE 9.1 with vanilla 2.6.10 kernel Spamassassin: 3.0.2-1.1 SuSE binary RPM razor: 2.61-3 SuSE binary RPM pyzor: 0.4.0 compiled from source tarball dcc: 1.2.68 compiled from source tarball Once started, I run spamd with the following options: /usr/sbin/spamd -D --daemonize --max-children=5 --pidfile=/var/run/spamd.pid --paranoid --create-prefs --user-config --siteconfigpath=/etc/spamassassin --helper-home-dir=/var/lib/home/spamd --socketpath=/var/lib/home/spamd/spamd.socket I've put some debug-logfiles to: http://members.kabsi.at/wh/ml/spamassassin/20050127/ You'll find the following files there: * testmsg the test message used (yes, that IS the mailing-list subscription confirmation request) * spamassassin.log _working_ spamassassin run with pyzor and dcc * spamd-startup.log debugs log of spamd startup (no problem there, I think) * spamd-dcc.log debug logs with dcc enabled (hangs) * spamd-pyzor.log debug logs with pyzor enabled (hangs) * spamd-working.log a working spamd run with both dcc and pyzor disabled * all_logs.tar.gz a tarball of all files above spamc was always invoked with: 'cat testmsg | spamc -U /var/lib/home/spamd/spamd.socket' If there is anything missing, please reply and just ask for it. Thanks! Thanks again if you made it until here, I appreciate that! Regards, Walter
