I just installed 3.0.1 to replace 2.63 and have noticed a tremendous improvement in speed. I am using a RH 8.0 system with spamc being executed by /etc/procmailrc.
I have limited the child processes to 3, and noticed that the child processes do not appear to die although their time and dates do appear to change. root 19782 1 0 Nov02 ? 00:00:21 /usr/bin/spamd -d -c -m 3 root 6162 19782 2 Nov03 ? 00:29:07 spamd child root 15840 19782 2 09:11 ? 00:04:08 spamd child root 16425 19782 2 09:51 ? 00:03:41 spamd child Is this a normal function of 3.0.1 or do I need to be concerned? Thanks, Greg Ennis
