I start spamd with a max of 32 processes and some people get lots of
mail. Users fire off spamc via their .procmailrc
I'm now seeing a lot of
[ID 702911 mail.error] connect(AF_INET) to spamd at 127.0.0.1 failed,
retrying (#3 of 3): Connection refused
Can I presume these are just an indication of resource limits?
Unless spamd has actually died (and no connections are being accepted), yes.
I'd start by making sure you're not using any swap space. 10 spamd
processes using no swap will beat out 32 processes using swap. Adjust
your number or processes so that you're not using any swap, if necessary.
Of course, you make no mention of the number of users or amount of mail
being scanned, so it could be possible that you've just got too much
demand on it. A small SPARCstation, etc., isn't likely capable of
scanning a large faculty's mail, but I'd imagine would be able to handle
a single departments.
