I have been running Mimedefang for a couple of years with great success. Recently, I started having issues with dozens of slave processes accumulating until the server stops responding. Reboot, all is well again for a while. Looked all over and cannot seem to come up with a clue.
Environment: RH 7.3, Sendmail 8.12.9, SpamAssassin 2.55, uvscan. MX_MINIMUM=2, MX_MAXIMUM=10 Mail volume: 4-5 messages/minute, cpu seldom exceeds 60%, even when locked.
Even with a MX_MAXIMUM of 10, I have seen 50-60 slaves show up in ps output.
Thanks for any clues.
We just had the same problem today, as well as a few weeks ago. FC3 Sendmail 8.13.3 SA 3.02 clamav-devel-20050319 MIN=2 MAX=10 256MB RAM (100MB allocated to ramdisk for /var/spool/MIMEDefang). Similar load.
We will add another 512MB RAM tonight and increase the ramdisk size. _______________________________________________ Visit http://www.mimedefang.org and http://www.canit.ca MIMEDefang mailing list [email protected] http://lists.roaringpenguin.com/mailman/listinfo/mimedefang
