Hi,

I have a problem whereby spamc sometimes times out while scanning mail and consequently spam e-mail passes through unchecked straight to my inbox.

It is being called from Simscan but I don't think this is the problem as the same thing happens on the command line.

If I run spamc manually it just never seems to return.

If I run spamassassin -D -t < spam.txt, it starts work but stalls here:

..and that last line continues indefinitely.

If I restart the box, it behaves normally for a few hours but then starts having the above problems again.

How can I fix this?

Thanks,

Nick...
