Hi KAM,
Options are : /usr/sbin/spamd --create-prefs -x -q --ipv4 --max-children 1 --timeout-child 180 --sql-config --nouser-config --username spamd --helper-home-dir -s /var/log/spamd.log --virtual-config-dir=/users/%d/%u -d --pidfile=/var/run/spamd.pid ( 1 child set because of lack of memory. 2 causes it to swap) As far as I can tell no rulesets have changed. I have these additional ones added : # MALWARE BLOCKLIST "http://www.malwarepatrol.net/cgi/submit?action=list_sa" -O MALWARE.BLOCKLIST.CF # 99_ANONWHOIS "http://anonwhois.org/99_anonwhois.cf" -O 99_ANONWHOIS.CF # kAOS rESIgns MTX Blacklist /usr/local/bin/mtx_blacklist.pl # SOUGHT rules via sa-update --channel SOUGHT.rules.yerp.org --channel updates.spamassassin.org # Generate Spamassassin rules from the phishing_reply_addresses list /usr/local/bin/addresses2spamassassin.pl - Prodcues file: LOCAL_PHISHING_REPLY.CF CUSTOM RULES IN LOCAL.CF I have a several custom rules comprising of 231 lines. These are simple rules comprising of some simple regex. Some were copied from this mailing list. I should turn these off and see what happens. In the past 24 hours the spamd memory usage has dropped to 198 Mb, which is a relief, but this happened after I did a update on the server from squeeze/updates, squeeze, and security. Before time I just had security configured. Cheers, S On 2013-03-06 14:57, Kevin A.
