I of course have no idea what to make of this output. Pointers?
Each line is one file descriptor. So it doesn't appear that it's using an
insane number of them.
Next time spamd hangs up, you might want to do this check though.
I'm outta ideas... I don't know if Justin will have any ideas without a full
strace of a problem spamd parent and children (which could be difficult in
getting with the amount of messages processed by your system).
Okay,
I'm still getting these issues. I've corrected every other issue that's
plagued us, and the thing still locks up. USUALLY when a user gets some
form of dictionary spam. For the users I can identify I've been keeping
copies of their stuff.
NOTE: This is under a stock 3.1.1, if there are any other patches I should
be using from the previous conversations that are NOT in 3.1.1, please let
me know, and I'll make sure I have those too. I'm seeing lots of the
following:

And also some of this:

Example at or around Mar 30 01:48:16 in this file:
http://www.gushi.org/maillog33106-0.txt
And another similar lockup at Mar 30 21:49:50 -- SAME USER, go figure.
I don't have archived copies of this user's mail -- yet. I've set up
archiving for them, and we have everything from now forward, but I'm
convinced there's SOMETHING in the spam they're getting that causes a
lockup.
