           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.

This is at least the case on RedHat 7.3, stock 5.6.1, SpamAssassin version
3.0.0-r10496
