Thanks for the reply, Tom. Yes, I see what you mean. At the moment, dspam is now running for about 15 minutes at a time and appears to be writing to its data directory. However, in maillog I am periodically seeing lines this like this when dspam dies:
Apr 26 18:05:57 paz postfix/lmtp[66441]: B30633BFE9: to=<c...@lim.nl>, relay=paz[/var/run/dspam.sock], delay=33235, delays=33234/0.08/0.42/0, dsn=4.4.2, status=deferred (lost connection with paz[/var/run/dspam.sock] while performing the LHLO handshake) Apr 26 18:05:57 paz postfix/lmtp[66438]: CE71C3BEB8: to=<c...@lim.nl>, relay=paz[/var/run/dspam.sock], delay=29671, delays=29671/0.06/0/0.54, dsn=4.4.2, status=deferred (lost connection with paz[/var/run/dspam.sock] while sending end of data -- message may be sent more than once) At the moment this is the only thing I have to gone on; dspam.debug isn't telling me anything useful. This is the bit that is puzzling me. I am a very part-time sysadmin, but I've gotten a fair bit of experience over the past five years setting up web- and mailservers, mostly under FreeBSD. When I run into problems configuring apache, postfix, or dovecot, or a CMS like Joomla, I can nearly always find a log somewhere which tells me what is going wrong. dspam is another matter though. If it lacks write permissions or encounters so other kind of problem it just silently crashes. I am still running it with the hash driver as I was never able to get the mysql interface working. postfix and dovecot seem so much more verbose. dspam for me is a black box. I feel like I am missing piece of the puzzle here.
