is rumored to have said:
SpamAssassin x86_64 3.4.0 CentOS 6.el7 release
Postfix 2.10.1
unbound 1.6.6
Obsolete antiques all...
Expanded defences to include dnswl.
Recommendation to install local dns caching server followed.
Once installed, large numbers of messages started to appear in
maillog.
The messages you included indicate that you've got spamd running with
debug enabled. The usual way to set debugging is in
/etc/sysconfig/spamassassin with the 'SPAMDOPTIONS' parameter. The
option to remove is '-D' and any list of message types that follow it.
I have no idea how you could have gotten the debug option enabled
without knowing it.
Intended to only access the one white-list service. Have I
accidentally
released a hydra of services/checks?
I guess that's a matter of definition...
The spamd daemon is one service, listening either on a unix-domain
socket or a TCP port, usually port 783. The parent spamd process handles
the listener and spawns a small number of child processes to which it
distributes individual messages for scanning.
SpamAssassin does a substantial number of DNS lookups to check the
domains used in email addresses and URLs in the message. The number of
these is dependent on your local configuration, but there are many
enabled by default.
Is there a way to reduce all of these log-lines?
(many times longer than the actual email message itself)
Switch off debug logging, and the messages will stop.
