Hi,
I'm having a strange problem on one of my spamd servers since upgrading
to 3.1.3.
What version were you running previously on this host? Upgrade, or wipe
and clean install?
After awhile under heavy load, children are not exiting, ie the log show
BBBIII, and eventually it's all BBBBBBBBBBBBB.
I've started hupping the server every night but I do not have the same
problem on another server.
Server with the problem
Fedora core 4 diskless server
3 gigs of ram (never more than around 1 gig used, no swap)
auth-learn is off
Diskless... are you logging via syslog to another host?
If so, and you've got enough room on the volume to run spamd with the -D
flag, you should be able to tell what's causing this from the debug output.
Even if you can't tell, having some debug output might clue someone more
familiar with how spamd works in to what's going on.
In the meantime, any other "prefork:" messages being logged?
