(sorry I hit send earlier before adding the subject) I am running SUN 420s with 4 processors and 4GB and SUN 4500s with 8 processors and 8GB, Solaris 8, sendmail or sendmail-swtich, and mimedefang 2.39 which calls spamassassin. When I set MAX_SLAVES above 60 I get this message:
Feb 17 11:23:48 uusnwa0y mimedefang-multiplexor: [ID 778059 mail.info] Starting slave 59 (pid 21793) (60 running): About to perform scan Feb 17 11:23:48 uusnwa0y mimedefang-multiplexor: [ID 291197 mail.error] Could not start slave 60: pipe failed: Too many open files Feb 17 11:23:48 uusnwa0y mimedefang-multiplexor: [ID 966169 mail.error] Unable to activate slave 60 Feb 17 11:23:48 uusnwa0y mimedefang-multiplexor: [ID 291197 mail.error] Could not start slave 60: pipe failed: Too many open files I get the same results on either the four or eight processor computers. Any ideas? Thanks Charles Mount ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- This is a PRIVATE message.
