Hi again,
I am still trying to find the cause and a solution to my issue. I’ve played
around with spamdb some more and found some weird behavior.
After starting with a clean /var/db/spamd the file had the following size:
-rw-r--r-- 1 _spamd _spamd 262144 Jun 10 22:30 /var/db/spamd
I executed a loop to put in some addresses:
for i in `jot 254 1 254` ; do sudo spamdb -a 192.168.0.$i ; done
Then I checked how many addresses were added:
(wizz@shwurzbung):~/spamd/s% spamdb | wc -l
184
File size:
-rw-r--r-- 1 _spamd _spamd 50266112 Jun 10 22:31 /var/db/spamd
So, 70 entries were not added. Then I have checked which entries are missing
with the following command:
for i in `jot 254 1 254` ; do if [ `spamdb | grep "|192.168.0.$i|" | wc -l | tr
-d [:space:]` -eq 0 ] ; then echo 192.168.0.$i ; fi ; done
I repeated the /var/db/spamd initialization, reexecuted the loop adding
addresses, checked and it turned out that again 184 entries were added, 70 were
missing. I compared the lists of missing entries, they matched. I executed the
first loop again trying to add some of the missing addresses and a strange
thing happened:
(wizz@shwurzbung):~/spamd/s% spamdb | wc -l
11
File size:
-rw-r--r-- 1 _spamd _spamd 87490560 Jun 10 22:33 /var/db/spamd
So now 173 entries were gone, but the file got bigger.
I tried it on my virtual machine (running the exact same config, except for the
HW), the results for each step were:
File size after init:
-rw-r--r-- 1 _spamd _spamd 65536 Jun 11 00:34 /var/db/spamd
Entries after the loop:
$ spamdb | wc -l
254
File size after the loop:
-rw-r--r-- 1 _spamd _spamd 65536 Jun 11 00:34 /var/db/spamd
After reexecution of the loop (just to see if anything changes):
$ spamdb | wc -l
254
File size:
-rw-r--r-- 1 _spamd _spamd 65536 Jun 11 00:35 /var/db/spamd
I have also tried recompiling spamd, spamdb from sources - didn’t help. I
created a small script in ruby to create similar db and it worked without a
problem. When I used the script to add entries to the /var/db/spamd it only
added some entries (192, tried several times, always the same number).
Summing up, on the faulty system the size of the emtpy /var/db/spamd is greater
than on the working system. Adding entries on the faulty system fails (with the
same nubmer of entries successfully added) and causes the spamd file to grow
significantly.
Any hints on what else to check or where to look for the root of the problem?

Kamil Andrusz
