Hello again!

Sorry to follow up on myself, I guess it was a bad idea to post such a 
long message, and at the end say that I was going on vacation. I'm back 
now, and the problem has by no means disappeared. I would be very 
grateful if someone could have a look. I'll try to summarize, the 
previous message is in the archives at 
http://mail-archives.apache.org/mod_mbox/spamassassin-users/200607.mbox/[EMAIL 
PROTECTED]

So, what I wrote was that:
> The main symptom is that quite a lot of email gets just
> this: X-Spam-Status: No, hits= required=
>       tests=

This is SA 3.1.3. running on a box by itself, called remotely over a TCP 
socket. It is backed by a Pg 8.1 bayesian datastore.

In the error logs, I see a lot of errors like this:
> Jul  9 12:38:03 robin spamd[10366]: prefork: sysread(9) not ready,
> wait max 300 secs
> Jul  9 12:38:09 robin spamd[10388]: prefork: periodic ping from spamd
> parent
> Jul  9 12:38:09 robin spamd[10388]: prefork: sysread(9) not ready,
> wait max 300 secs


Also,
> Diving deeper into that log, I see things like:
> Sun Jul  9 12:44:01 2006 pooh[27263]: spamassassin
> Sun Jul  9 12:44:01 2006 pooh[27263]: check_spam: No, hits=,
> required=, tests=

And things have gone wrong.

Further, spamd has a dying child:

> 255 Jul  9 12:44:01 robin spamd[10225]: prefork: new lowest idle kid:
> 10388 Jul  9 12:44:01 robin spamd[10225]: spamd: handled cleanup of

> Jul  9 12:44:01 robin spamd[10225]: prefork: child states: II

Any further clues on how to understand this problem would be 
appreciated.

Cheers,
