Sure it could. How many
spamd processes do you have running? How much time is each taking?
What do your custom rulesets look like? What's the CPU speed? These
are all factors. If you have a bunch of machines hitting the same box and
there are a bunch of threads running then it can slow down to the point where
you are waiting for I/O and memory. I run spamd with 10 threads and this
seems optimal for MY system. Tweak the numbers down a little and see if
that helps.

Subject: Spamd stops responding...???
All,
I have a problem that started when I went to
SpamAssassin 3.0.
I have a dedicated server that runs spamd. I have
about 6 servers that
connect to this server via spamc. At various
times, spamd will literally
stop processing new connections. If I do a
ps ax, I can see all the spamd
child processes but nothing is
happening. I have run spamd in debug mode
and do not see any
errors. I even added the -L as I thought it was due to
lookups but this
didn't help either.
The only thing I can say is that the memory is pegged
(512Megs) and I am
swapping allot. I don't see how this could drop it
dead in the water
though.
Any
thoughts?
