Title: Spamd stops responding...???

Thanks,   I am running 10 and have tried going with more as well as less.  Last weekend I added another processor so it is now running 2-PIII 1Gig processors.  This didn't help though.  I'm not running any custom rules but do have a shared AWL as well as shared Bayes DB.  I have checked I/O and that looks fine.   I guess I can see how each process would slow down, but I find it odd that they stop responding all together.   QQQQ   ----- Original Message ----- From: Gary W.

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.

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? QQQQ
