Hi Bert,
many thanks for your answer.
Please find the spamassassin config below.
I already checked it but do not find anything to change which is
stopping the flooding.
Also, spamassassin is consuming mostly all of my CPU power.
When its running, the CPU is nearly the whole time at 99%. When I stop
spamassassin, the CPU consumption is going down.

# WARNING: please read README.spamd before using.
# There may be security risks.
# Prior to version 3.4.2-1, spamd could be enabled by setting
# ENABLED=1 in this file. This is no longer supported. Instead, please
# use the update-rc.d command, invoked for example as "update-rc.d
spamassassin enable", to enable the spamd service.
# Options
# See man spamd for possible options. The -d option is automatically
added.
ENABLED=1
# SpamAssassin uses a preforking model, so be careful! You need to
# make sure --max-children is not set to anything higher than 5,
# unless you know what you're doing.
OPTIONS="--create-prefs --max-children 5 --helper-home-dir --username
spamd --helper-home-dir /home/spamd -s /var/log/spamassassin/spamd.log
# Pid file
# Where should spamd write its PID to file? If you use the -u or
# --username option above, this needs to be writable by that user.
# Otherwise, the init script will not be able to shut spamd down.
PIDFILE="/var/run/spamd.pid"
# Set nice level of spamd
#NICE="--nicelevel 15"
# Cronjob
# Set to anything but 0 to enable the cron job to automatically update
# spamassassin's rules on a nightly basis
CRON=1

For the errors about nonexistent uses you will want to have a look at
/etc/default/spamassassin I'm guessing.
For the info messages: this has just got to do with your logging level.
You will want to decrease it in local.cf or maybe also in the default
file.

Hi all,
I have a running debian 11 with postfix/dovecot and Amavis with clamav
/ spamassassin.
I saw that the spamassassin logfile is growing very fast and found the
following entries occuring many times per second.
Can you maybe help me to get this fixed?
I searched along the internet but did not find really a solution.
Do you need any config files to check?
Thanks for your help in advance,
Timo
