Guys, I updated my spamassassin to SpamAssassin version 3.2.4 that running on Perl version 5.8.5 in a hope that spamd wouldn't kill my CPU again. Once in less-or-more an hour user cannot send email and have to wait until the 99.9%process finished. When I ran 'top' I got:
PID USER PR NI VIRT RES SHR S %CPU %MEM TIME+ COMMAND 1905 spamd 25 0 41984 35m 2828 R 99.9 1.8 4:24.58 spamd And when I tail-ed my /var/log/maillog I got: Mar 12 09:05:10 mail spamd[1905]: spamd: identified spam (7.8/4.0) for simscan:604 in *265.8 seconds*, 2820 bytes.

And if there was, how should I do that? Thank you in advance for your help. Regards,
