           Summary: Max children is reached, all server memory is used!
           Product: Spamassassin
           Version: 3.2.0
          Platform: PC
        OS/Version: FreeBSD
            Status: NEW
          Severity: critical
          Priority: P5
         Component: spamc/spamd
        AssignedTo: [email protected]
        ReportedBy: [EMAIL PROTECTED]

spamassassin server - 3gb ram, intel quad core 2.4 cpu,freebsd 6.2 
postgres server - Xeon 2.4/HP,2GB ram 

/etc/rc.conf - contents
spamd_enable="YES"
spamd_flags="-u nobody -A x.x.x.x/24, -i x.x.x.x -m 140 --min-spare=14
--max-spare=20 -q -x"



WHen the maximum children processes are used, spamassassin will use all memory
and we will have to either stop spamassassin and restart or reboot the entire
server. SOmetimes when restarting spamassassin the spam thing happens right 
away, 
memory usage goes up to 1-2GB. It also causes about 300 database connections to
the postgres server! This is happen on a very consistant basis and did not
happen before bug 5313 was commited.
