Hi. SA 3.02 sometimes seems to stop parsing a message, stop producing debug output and using 100% CPU until killed. I'm running spamd with 5 child processes, called from exim 3 with spamc as a filter (although this sholdn't matter I suppose) and when all availible spamd children are stuck mail isn't flowing as nicely as it used to (lots of spam unchecked).
I have tried both SA 3.02 from backports.org and now also the plain 3.02 from SA homepage directly. I'm currently running only with stock rules, for debugging purposes. Running Debian woody i386 + backports SA. perl 5.6.1. I have also tried both locking methods, with no different result. The particular message logged below, just for example, was a real Debian Security Advisory - ie, ham. spamd always seem to stop at that line. Sometimes also, SA says that "Cannot open bayes databases /var/local/lib/spamassassin/bayes_* R/W: lock failed: Filen existerar". Some other spamd child hung during lock? -- the last lines -- Feb 14 13:11:14 dront spamd[23356]: debug: tokenize: header tokens for *r = " [10.1.1 ip*10.1.1.11 ] (vestfold-static56.bluecom.no [62.101.205 ip*62.101.205.56 ]) (using TLSv1 cipher DHE-RSA-AES256-SHA (256/256 bits)) (No client certificate requested) by mail.smidsrod.no (Postfix) <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>; mail.smidsrod.no ([127.0.0 ip*127.0.0.1 ]) by localhost (sc [127.0.0 ip*127.0.0.1 ]) (amavisd-new, port 10024) id 26376-04 <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>; " -- some strange but maybe benign lines -- Feb 14 12:52:43 dront spamd[23356]: debug: config: not parsing, administrator setting: bayes_path /var/local/lib/spamassassin/bayes Feb 14 12:52:43 dront spamd[23356]: debug: config: SpamAssassin failed to parse line, skipping: bayes_path /var/local/lib/spamassassin/bayes -- from glocal config -- required_hits 8 bayes_path /var/local/lib/spamassassin/bayes bayes_file_mode 0777 auto_whitelist_path /var/local/lib/spamassassin/auto-whitelist auto_whitelist_file_mode 0777 /Per Eric -- ^): Per Eric Rosén http://rosnix.nu/~per/ / [EMAIL PROTECTED] GPG 7A7A BD68 ADC0 01E1 F560 79FD 33D1 1EC3 1EBB 7311
