I use spamc/spamd to process my incoming email. If my sendmail daemon is off-line for any length of time, when it comes back on-line the backup MX server swamps my server with incoming email. For each incoming email a spamd instance is started to check the email. As a result, my system becomes so busy with spamd processes that it virtually hangs and becomes unresponsive - sometimes for several hours. Is there some way to limit things so that only a certain number of spamd instances are started?
I start spamd with the followig options: "-d -c -a -m 15". I thought this would do the trick but it has no affect. Any suggeestions?
