Hi all,
I didn't know if this was the right list to post this to, but I guess
the user list is for "how do I install spamassassin". If not, feel free
to shout at me and I'll go to [EMAIL PROTECTED]
I'm running spamd and Exim on a Gentoo linux box with an AMD Sempron
2300+ and 512MB of ram. The site handles about 20 domains (for friends
and family), none of which are busy.
I've set up a cron job that runs every minute and restarts spamd if it's
using over 100MB of ram (and emails me with the amount it's using). The
funny thing is I regularly (every day at least) get messages like:
Restarting SpamAssassin, memory usage at 462200 (09/15/05 00:10)
Restarting SpamAssassin, memory usage at 442488 (09/15/05 00:21)
Restarting SpamAssassin, memory usage at 444480 (09/15/05 00:34)
So, within 60 seconds (otherwise it would have been killed on the
previous run) spamd's gone from <100MB to >400MB! And it's done this
three times in an hour!
After much searching i'm running spamd with the following settings:
-m 1 -H --max-conn-per-child=5 -u mail --ident-timeout=30
Can anyone help me track down why it's using so much memory?
I'm using:
server1 ~ # spamd -V
SpamAssassin Server version 3.0.4
running on Perl 5.8.6
with SSL support (IO::Socket::SSL 0.96)
Let me know what further information you need.
Cheers,
Andy
