Ok, running softlimit with a CPU time of 2 seconds has seen the CPU % max out at 67% now, which I can deal with. I will let it run and see if there are any adverse affects. On a side note, if the spamd process is limited to 2 seconds cpu time, and usually it would take more and have a higher % use, how does that work? Something musts be squeezed to fit into the 2 seconds? Thanks again

Using it as a filter: For example: In /var/qmail/supervise/spamd/run From: #!/bin/sh exec /usr/bin/spamd -x -u vpopmail -s stderr 2>&1 To: #!/bin/sh exec /usr/bin/softlimit [YOURSOFTLIMITOPTIONS] /usr/bin/spamd -x -u vpopmail -s stderr 2>&1 Cheers. *-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-* | David Sanchez Martin | [EMAIL PROTECTED] Administrador de Sistemas | http://www.e2000.es E2000 Nuevas Tecnologias | | E2000 Organizacion de Empresarios | Tel : +34 902 19 61 77 Mediadores de Seguros | | Agustin Bravo Esquina Calle C | 33120 Pravia Asturias Spain | | *-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-* De: Shelly [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Enviado el: jueves, 14 de diciembre de 2006 7:10 Para: [email protected] Asunto: Re: [qmailtoaster] SpamAssassin cpu usage Yes, I did killall spam processes before restart, and no Im not using Pyzor. Is it possible to run spamd in daemon mode, and would that reduce how much CPU it uses?

What does your rulesdujour look like? Do you have DCC, Pyzor or Razor enabled? I also found Pyzor to be a problem. -MA Shelly wrote: > Hi Michael, I have just tried that one, however the spamd at 100% > still continues.
