I have been running ASSP for 3809 days on Gentoo Linux. In the last few months ASSP has become VERY unstable. I understand the old single threaded code base is no longer being maintained. I was forced to move away from that due to a bug triggered by a newer version of Perl causing problems in SPF modules. The last single threaded version I ran was 1.9.9.14069.
I have since switched to 2.4.3.14313 and presently 2.4.3.14349. Not sure if I need to go back to 2.4.3.14313. I recall having issues thus moving to 2.4.3.14349. Which the biggest issue I am having there is with rebuilding the spam database. I can't use the schedule cron perl modules, those are total crap and leak memory and other things like crazy. No clue why I need to move a 10yr old cron task to within perl via perl cron modules. Or why rebuildspamdb.pl has gone away and replaced with something you cannot invoke directly but have to from ASSP. Thus I have to log into the web interface daily or when ever just to rebuild the spam database. When I do run that, it never finishes, maxes out the CPU, cores, etc for hours. Some new bug and issue. The bugs and issues with ASSP are getting ridiculous. I have never seen such problems with ASSP ever as I have in the last 6 or so months. Its seeming that I might have to against my will be forced to use alternative software that does not have such stability issues. I am tempted to revert to 1.9.9.14284 and hope the issues with SPF are not there. Worse case I can disable that as I had to get some stability. I really cannot believe the amount of issues I am experiencing with ASSP. Why the move to multi-threaded, which seems to cause SERIOUS problems. Am I the only one having stability issues with ASSP? What version are others running? Anyone else seeing ASSP run away when rebuilding spamdb, and other odd errors? Anyone able to actually use the schedule cron modules and have that not leak memory and other things? I believe this might get version specific on stuff, version of perl, version of perl modules, etc. I have no problem providing what ever version information. I really hope ASSP can become stable again and the quality software I have depended on and ran for over a decade. I know quality is subject to debate, and I have never considered ASSP quality code per se. However it has served its purpose, been effective, and more importantly been stable for a very long time. I hope that can return sooner than later! -- William L.
