Someone here suggested that it's a memory problem. The rate that it's occuring for you might support that if you handle a lot of users. I've only got one domain with around 20 users and about 2000-10000 spams a day. The SIGTERM hasn't happenned here since Monday, and I think that was the last day in a series of days when we had a large wave of spam come in (including a short but intense backscatter attack - still trying to figure out how to patch netqmail for recipient verification on Gentoo by the way): Mar 28 13:40:42 localhost spamd[7941]: spamd: server killed by SIGTERM, shutting down Mar 31 12:08:31 localhost spamd[8616]: spamd: server killed by SIGTERM, shutting down Mar 31 12:19:00 localhost spamd[24698]: spamd: server killed by SIGTERM, shutting down Apr 1 03:56:40 localhost spamd[25448]: spamd: server killed by SIGTERM, shutting down Apr 3 17:25:39 localhost spamd[26815]: spamd: server killed by SIGTERM, shutting down Apr 4 14:51:42 localhost spamd[9535]: spamd: server killed by SIGTERM, shutting down Apr 6 04:18:40 localhost spamd[15059]: spamd: server killed by SIGTERM, shutting down Apr 6 16:24:13 localhost spamd[10926]: spamd: server killed by SIGTERM, shutting down Apr 6 16:32:28 localhost spamd[30350]: spamd: server killed by SIGTERM, shutting down Apr 7 13:19:52 localhost spamd[31101]: spamd: server killed by SIGTERM, shutting down Apr 8 10:17:30 localhost spamd[18510]: spamd: server killed by SIGTERM, shutting down Apr 8 10:18:21 localhost spamd[2210]: spamd: server killed by SIGTERM, shutting down Apr 8 16:23:32 localhost spamd[2574]: spamd: server killed by SIGTERM, shutting down Apr 9 10:35:10 localhost spamd[25816]: spamd: server killed by SIGTERM, shutting down __________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!?
