I should have added a "...." on the bottom of that list; I didn't think
it useful to show the full progression up to the defined max_children
setting of 60 (which it usually reaches within a second or two). spamd is
behaving properly at that point and chewing through mail as fast as a
child process can grab some CPU.
You posted this command line:
/usr/local/bin/spamd -d -x -q -r /var/run/spamd.pid --min-children=59
--min-spare=1 --max-spare=1 --max-conn-per-child=100 -m 60 -s local1 -u spamd
--timeout-child=60 -i 0.0.0.0 -A <IP list> --syslog-ident spamd/main
Why don't we see something like "prefork: child states:
BIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIII"?
...to answer my own question, max-spare overrides it?
Is there some reason you're setting max-spare to 1 instead of leaving it
at 2 or setting it to something like 5?
