<What was the last thing that spamd was doing?>
nothing jumped out at me from the log. I don't remember if it stopped mid-message or seemed to be waiting for the next one. I'll try to check the next time it happens. <And do you run bayes? > I've never fed it any messages. pretty sure the checking log says autolearn=no. however, it's possible I need to actively turn it off. should I set something in local.cf to 0 to avoid some overhead? <Also, what is the specs on your mail stream and the box running spamd. > spamd is on a reasonably new computer although not the hottest by far. it's a celeron with 512meg of ram. there are about 50megs of ram free with 15 children running. it kept up until a few weeks ago. the biggest backlog I've seen was 6000 messages. a few times it was 2,000. yesterday it was only 600. when things are running normally there are only 1 or 2 messages queued up. <Do you limit messages by size (say 300KB)? Winspamc default limit is 256KB, but that can be overridden.> running defaults. |
