Package: dspam Version: 3.6.8-2 Severity: important
Sorry to be reporting another problem without a fix yet: i have a system running dspam 3.6.8 in daemon mode, listening on a local UNIX socket via LMTP, feeding to clamav, and delivering to another UNIX socket via LMTP. It runs fine under moderate load usually, but i've now had two crashes where it died with the message 'Unable to determine the runtime user'. This sounds identical to me to the problem reported on dspam-users by Helio Coelho Junior on 2006-06-13 and 2006-05-25: http://thread.gmane.org/gmane.mail.spam.dspam.user/10718/focus=10770 http://thread.gmane.org/gmane.mail.spam.dspam.user/10536/focus=10542 Because the errors i experienced were on a server that is in production, i've simply restarted dspam, and haven't had a chance to generate a gdb backtrace yet. in this configuration, dspam itself becomes a blocker in the mail delivery chain, and messages pile up in the leading MTAs queue, causing heavier load when dspam itself *is* restarted, which appears to make dspam more likely to crash in the same way as the queue is flushed. Both times this has happened, i've needed to restart dspam several times in rapid succession, flushing the MTAs queue each time. i'm going to see if i can get a backtrace from a test system as well. I just reported this on dspam-users also, fwiw. --dkg -- System Information: Debian Release: testing/unstable APT prefers testing APT policy: (500, 'testing'), (200, 'unstable') Architecture: i386 (i686) Shell: /bin/sh linked to /bin/bash Kernel: Linux 2.6.16-2-686 Locale: LANG=en_US.UTF-8, LC_CTYPE=en_US.UTF-8 (charmap=UTF-8) Versions of packages dspam depends on: ii adduser 3.97 Add and remove users and groups ii libc6 2.3.6-15 GNU C Library: Shared libraries ii libdspam7 3.6.8-2 DSPAM is a scalable and statistica ii libldap2 2.1.30-13+b1 OpenLDAP libraries ii procmail 3.22-16 Versatile e-mail processor ii sensible-mda 8.13.7-2 Mail Delivery Agent wrapper Versions of packages dspam recommends: pn clamav-daemon <none> (no description available) ii dspam-doc 3.6.8-2 Documentation for dspam -- no debconf information -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
