Ever since I upgraded to Exim 4.66 and my server load has gone up I've been experiencing a lot of Error 421's (disconnection errors).
>From my google search it seems we may be memory/cpu/disk bound, and there are suggestions on limiting the file size scanned, removing large rulesets, etc.. I have searched the exim site looking for a way to limit the file size but I can't find anything. Can someone suggest what I need to do to my spamassassin transport config to limit the size of messages that are sent to spam assassin to 100k (or less) and send the remaining though un-scanned. Here's the exerpt from my exim.conf: spamcheck: driver = pipe batch_max = 100 command = /usr/sbin/exim -oMr spam-scanned -bS current_directory = "/tmp" group = mail home_directory = "/tmp" log_output message_prefix = message_suffix = return_fail_output no_return_path_add transport_filter = /usr/bin/spamc -u ${lookup{$domain}lsearch*{/etc/virtual/domainowners}{$value}} use_bsmtp user = mail Thanks!
