Hi
Today I received two mails which kept clogging my mailqueues as
spamassassin never terminated analyzing them.....
I do have the two messages causing this on my SA 3.1.0 and the debug
output - it always hangs in the "running full-text regexp tests" section...
Could someone from Spamassassin contact me directly please?
Is the message itself large (>250k)? If so, well, SA can't handle scanning large
mail. That's why spamc defaults to not scanning messages over 250k.
Do you allow user rules and have any full type rules in a user_prefs file? There
seems to be some rare problems with full and rawbody rules in user_prefs files.
However, this generally manifests itself as an un-scanned message, not a
log-jammed mailqueue.
Well, now i found a full rule from a long time ago which never made any
troubles but this particular message contained lots of whitespaces and
special characters and this rule made it into some kind of recursion.....
But yes, the one thing that troubles me a bit is that SA seemed to be
crashed in a way...
I'm using Spamassassin which should terminate the process after 6
minutes for such cases.. but amavisd-new itself seemed to crash - i
wasn't able to kill it normally, i had to use kill -9 !!
when run normally using spamassassin < badmail.txt I'm able to
terminate it with ctrl-c tough...?
If you want I can provide you the two samples
