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 : Nov 4 11:54:01 xxxxx spamc[18508]: connect(AF_INET) to spamd at 127.0.0.=1 failed, retrying (#1 of 3): Connection timed out Nov 4 11:54:01 xxxxx spamc[18511]: connect(AF_INET) to spamd at 127.0.0.=1 failed, retrying (#1 of 3): Connection timed out Nov 4 11:54:01 xxxxx spamc[18512]: connect(AF_INET) to spamd at 127.0.0.=1 failed, retrying (#1 of 3): Connection timed out Nov 4 11:54:01 xxxxx spamc[18513]: connect(AF_INET) to spamd at 127.0.0.=1 failed, retrying (#1 of 3): Connection timed out Nov 4 11:54:01 xxxxx spamc[18509]: connect(AF_INET) to spamd at 127.0.0.=1 failed, retrying (#1 of 3): Connection timed out Nov 4 11:54:01 xxxxx spamc[18514]: connect(AF_INET) to spamd at 127.0.0.=1 failed, retrying (#1 of 3): Connection timed out Nov 4 11:54:01 xxxxx spamc[18536]: connect(AF_INET) to spamd at 127.0.0.=1 failed, retrying (#1 of 3): Connection timed out Nov 4 11:54:01 xxxxx spamc[18537]: connect(AF_INET) to spamd at 127.0.0.=1 failed, retrying (#1 of 3): Connection timed out Nov 4 11:54:01 xxxxx spamc[18538]: connect(AF_INET) to spamd at 127.0.0.=1 failed, retrying (#1 of 3): Connection timed out Nov 4 11:54:01 xxxxx spamc[18539]: connect(AF_INET) to spamd at 127.0.0.=1 failed, retrying (#1 of 3): Connection timed out Nov 4 11:54:01 xxxxx spamc[18540]: connect(AF_INET) to spamd at 127.0.0.=1 failed, retrying (#1 of 3): Connection timed out Nov 4 11:54:01 xxxxx spamc[18542]: connect(AF_INET) to spamd at 127.0.0.=1 failed, retrying (#1 of 3): Connection timed out Nov 4 11:54:01 xxxxx spamc[18543]: connect(AF_INET) to spamd at 127.0.0.=1 failed, retrying (#1 of 3): Connection timed out Nov 4 11:54:01 xxxxx spamc[18544]: connect(AF_INET) to spamd at 127.0.0.=1 failed, retrying (#1 of 3): Connection timed out Nov 4 11:54:01 xxxxx spamc[18551]: connect(AF_INET) to spamd at 127.0.0.=1 failed, retrying (#1 of 3): Connection timed out Nov 4 11:54:01 xxxxx spamc[18548]: connect(AF_INET) to spamd at 127.0.0.=1 failed, retrying (#1 of 3): Connection timed out Nov 4 11:54:01 xxxxx spamc[18541]: connect(AF_INET) to spamd at 127.0.0.=1 failed, retrying (#1 of 3): Connection timed out Nov 4 11:54:01 xxxxx spamc[18545]: connect(AF_INET) to spamd at 127.0.0.=1 failed, retrying (#1 of 3): Connection timed out Nov 4 11:54:01 xxxxx spamc[18554]: connect(AF_INET) to spamd at 127.0.0.=1 failed, retrying (#1 of 3): Connection timed out Nov 4 11:54:01 xxxxx spamc[18557]: connect(AF_INET) to spamd at 127.0.0.=1 failed, retrying (#1 of 3): Connection timed out Nov 4 11:54:02 xxxxx spamc[18574]: connect(AF_INET) to spamd at 127.0.0.=1 failed, retrying (#1 of 3): Connection timed out Nov 4 11:54:02 xxxxx spamc[18575]: connect(AF_INET) to spamd at 127.0.0.=1 failed, retrying (#1 of 3): Connection timed out Nov 4 11:54:02 xxxxx spamc[18576]: connect(AF_INET) to spamd at 127.0.0.=1 failed, retrying (#1 of 3): Connection timed out Nov 4 11:54:02 xxxxx spamc[18577]: connect(AF_INET) to spamd at 127.0.0.=1 failed, retrying (#1 of 3): Connection timed out Nov 4 11:54:02 xxxxx spamc[18578]: connect(AF_INET) to spamd at 127.0.0.=1 failed, retrying (#1 of 3): Connection timed out Nov 4 11:54:02 xxxxx spamc[18579]: connect(AF_INET) to spamd at 127.0.0.=1 failed, retrying (#1 of 3): Connection timed out Nov 4 11:54:02 xxxxx spamc[18580]: connect(AF_INET) to spamd at 127.0.0.=1 failed, retrying (#1 of 3): Connection timed out Nov 4 11:54:02 xxxxx spamc[18581]: connect(AF_INET) to spamd at 127.0.0.=1 failed, retrying (#1 of 3): Connection timed out - 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 -- ======================================================================== Michel Vanbreugel CEREMADE Email : [EMAIL PROTECTED] Université Paris-Dauphine tél : 01.44.05.44.67 Place du Maréchal de Lattre fax : 01.44.05.45.99 75.775 PARIS Cedex 16 ========================================================================
