Hi. An exceptionally high load of incoming messages has managed to crash spamd (Postfix + SpamAssassin 2.62 on a dual Xeon 2G4).
Is there a crontab script that monitors spamd health and in case attempts a restart and/or warns a sysadmin?
For those interested, Murphy made this happen on Friday night so until Monday morning half of incoming mail was not spam-filtered (we're running under load balancing). They were about 2500 msg/h (41 msg/min) incoming generated by a vacation-reply loop (vacation reply to an unknown mailbox, bounce, vacation reply to bounce, etc etc).
There was probably a dead-lock on the Bayes DB, since that is the state in which my colleague found the server. Fortunately spamc timed out and sent mails through.
