Summary: spamd zombies in conjunction with failed handle_user
lookups
Product: Spamassassin
Version: SVN Trunk (Latest Devel Version)
Platform: Other
OS/Version: Linux
Status: NEW
Severity: normal
Priority: P5
Component: spamc/spamd
AssignedTo: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
ReportedBy: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
It appears if handle_user fails because the user it is passed is unknown that
spamd goes zombie. This is at least the case with Setuid SQL config and SQL
Bayes enabled, I haven't tested other configurations at this time.
