Hi Michael, I'll look into my exact setup when I get home, but I believe the spamassassin problem is due to a bug of some kind. On a heavy day, I don't get more than 20 messages to my home email. I use gmail for the lists I'm on. But basically something pops them from verizon, then procmail, then spamd. I then pop them again to one of 2 WinXP boxes where they get read. I've never really put a lot of effort into this once I got it working reasonably (but not necessarily efficiently).
But sometimes, with no reason that I've yet found, the spamd process will be running, consuming all CPU. And it doesn't stop. The only way to clear it is to kill it, or reboot the system (which is usually what I do to make sure everything gets started up again correctly). People I correspond with get whitelisted after they end up in the SPAM folder once.
