Summary: Spamd process regularly runs away using 100% processor
Product: Spamassassin
Version: 2.44
Platform: PC
URL: http://www.mjvn.co.za
OS/Version: Linux
Status: NEW
Severity: major
Priority: P5
Component: spamc/spamd
AssignedTo: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
ReportedBy: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
The spamd (parent) process regularly runs away and uses 100% processor
resources.
Box is a 2400XP Athlon with 1GB ram and 120GB diskspace running redhat 9 which
is 100% up2date. It handles mail for 2000+ users. We also saw this on
another server earlier.
We currently restart the daemon every 30 minutes but still get runaway
processes. I searched the bugz and internet as a whole and could find other
references to a similar problem but no solutions.
