Re: SA uses all my cpu

[Alvaro Graves]

Thanks for the advice. I tried using spamd/spamc changing /etc/maildroprc

if ( $SIZE < 26144 )
{
   exception {
      xfilter "/usr/bin/spamc"
   }
}

and in /etc/init.d/spamassassin

[ -f /usr/bin/spamd -o -f /usr/local/bin/spamd ] || exit 0

But, nothing new happens. What am I doing wrong?

thanks

SA can be very CPU intensive. If you're seeing excessive CPU load you can take
one of several measures.


1) if you're using spamassassin use spamc/spamd instead. This saves a LOT of
per-message overhead.

2) change your spamd -m parameter to have fewer children.

3) disable bayes (this has accuracy drawbacks, but does save a lot of cpu)
