Hi,

On a Redhat 7.3 ( 2.4.20-28) with SA 3.0.1 :
installation and filtering is good, but from time to time, each 3 or 4 days no 
more
message is filtered, despite the spamd deamon is still active.

- I try to upgrade the number of child process of spamd from 5 to 10
  but keep the same problem ;
  there are the options I use to call spamd :
  OPTIONS="-d -x -m 10 -s /var/log/spamd.log"

- the only trace I see in the log file is something like this :

- these messages appeared at times the computer is not particulary loaded;
  this is a dedicated mail server for about 80 users
 
- netstat -lnp | grep spamd
  gives :  tcp  0 0 127.0.0.1:783   0.0.0.0:*   LISTEN  20063/spamd.log
  so the defaut 783 port is OK

- I used SA 2.6 for a long time without any problem ;
  I get this new problem when I upgrade to 3.0.0
  so I recently try 3.0.1 but it's the same

- the only thing I'm able to do in that case is to restart the deamon by :
  service spamassassin restart
  and everything restart well ..

but the problem is still pending, and what to do when I'm not there ...

regards
