Second, there's no way SA can generate a load of 30+ if there's only 4-6 spamd processes running. The issue you describe sounds like you are resource strapped, thereby causing other processes to sit waiting for swap, driving the load up, etc. The easy fixes are: put more memory in the machine, turn off other processes on the machine you don't use, cut back on the number of spamd children, disable SA features you don't use, disable third-party rulesets if installed... ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are the assignee for the bug, or are watching the assignee.
