You know I only half read your original email Warren. I thought you had meant that the spamd process was bogging your machine down as emails came in. How are you running sa-learn? Is it in the mailfilter script? Sorry about that!Warren (mailing lists) wrote:Jake Vickers wrote:Warren (mailing lists) wrote:sa-learn is using so much memory and CPU time that it is killing my server. I have renamed it for now, but would like to know if there is a way to limit the amount of memory or processes that it uses?I had the same problem here. 67M a process eats up the ram quickly. Go to your run file for spamd (/var/qmail/supervise/spamd/run) and add the --maxchildren=x option to limit how many processes it will spawn: exec /usr/bin/spamd --max-children=5 -x -u vpopmail -s stderr 2>&1After trying what you described and going as low as 2, It seems that spamd still spawns many sa-learn jobs regardless of that setting. I still have to rename sa-learn, at least until I get more RAM. WWarren, How are you running sa-learn? Are you talking about the autolearn option? (apparently) Perhaps your bayes journal hasn't sync'd in a while (or ever). Try running # sa-learn -u vpopmail --force-expire # chown vpopmail:vchkpw /home/vpopmail/.spamassassin/bayes_toks and see if that doesn't speed things up. What does this sa-learn report when you run it?
