Package: Spamassassin
Version: 3.0.3-2
Severity: important

I have been having problems with spamassassing of the past few days.

What happens is occasionally the spamd process will start to use up more and 
more
memory and over a period of about 30 minutes before it confumes all of my 2Gb 
of swap
and 1GB of ram on the server. 

/etc/init.d/spamassassin restart 
usually fixes the problem but sometimes they do need to be killed by hand. 

I am wondering if this is a in the wild version of the remote DOS that was 
reported
against spamassassin previously and either the patch has not been backported 
properly
or the upstream have not fully patched this problem.

due to the the large time between it starting and ending however I have not been
able to issolate an email which is causing this problem yet.

Do you have any ideas?

thanks, Gavin
