Summary: RFE: kludge around spamd bugs by re-execing on serious
errors
Product: Spamassassin
Version: SVN Trunk (Latest Devel Version)
Platform: Other
OS/Version: other
Status: NEW
Severity: enhancement
Priority: P5
Component: spamc/spamd
AssignedTo: [email protected]
ReportedBy: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
There are a few cases (e.g. bug 5313) where something in the prefork code
may be tickling OS bugs, or itself getting in a tail-spin situation.
It may be worth adding emergency code which detects this tail-spin,
and re-execs the entire spamd server, as if a SIGHUP was delivered --
on the assumption that this will kill the troublesome processes and
replace them with "new", working spamds. (just a theory ;)
Strictly speaking though, this is a kludge workaround.
Ideally we should probably just fix the core problem, of course, if we can
figure it out...
