Hi, I posted a couple weeks ago about a continuous buildup of hung spamd children. The problem turned out to be my NIS configuration. If you have NIS set to do nslookups on "hosts" requests that aren't in the YP database, and if the library call res_mkquery fails for some reason, spamd will retry the lookup indefinitely.
In any case if you see the following messages in the yp servers messages file: ypserv[41461]: res_mkquery failed Then that may be your problem. I only had one ancient Next machine (miraculously up 535 days on a 15 year old, all original machine) dependent on this mechanism, so I commented out the B=-b line in /var/yp/Makefile, touched the hosts file, did a make and the problem went away. Thanks for a great package!!! Rich
