Just thought I'd ask...
You did restart SA after you made the changes?
Yes I did. In meanwhile I've found bug
https://issues.apache.org/SpamAssassin/show_bug.cgi?id=6843 . But it
doesn't give me anwser why max-spare limit max childs. (And honestly
it's strange for me how min,max/children,spare options works).
Regards,
Marcin
spare = idle child process
So...
min-spare = minimum number of idle child processes
max-spare = maximum number of idle child processes
min-children = minimum number of children (busy or idle)
max-children = maximum number of children (busy or idle)
Usually, max-children is the one you want to adjust. Make it high
enough to handle your load, but make sure you don't over-commit your
RAM. If you start swapping, everything slows to a crawl.
