Hey all.

Had another hangup last night.

My full log is at http://www.gushi.org/maillog2.txt (but only for the next 24 or so...don't need to leave that out in the open).

Scroll down to about "Mar  9 07:13:00" to see what happens.

I'm noting a few things. First, almost all of the locked up messages are caused by emails going to either user madge or user tinsc (there is no santa claus, heh). I looked at their .procmailrc -- it does NOT appear that I can get those messages for analysis, but I've modified it and let them know. Something specific to those messages is causing SA (or something it calls) to lock up HARD.

The dccifd timeouts concern me, since dccifd should be independent of SpamAssassin.

Hrmmm...

How would I best check free file descriptors?

cat /proc/sys/fs/file-nr

On RedHat systems gives you the # of allocated/in use/max FDs.

That's not good.  Are you on FreeBSD?

Yup.

As I'm not a C programmer, I don't know what the relation is between a kqueue and an FD -- but could it be related?
