Re: Runaway processes

[Frank M. Cook]

I've been fighting a problem which may turn out to be similar.  my 
spamassassin just starts falling behind and runaway threads could be the 
cause.  I'm going to try adjusting --max connections per child (check docs 
for exact syntax).  the default is 200.  maybe someone else will jump in 
with a recommended number but I'm thinking the default may be way too high. 
a lower number will cause each child to shut down sooner.  when the max 
number is reached the thread is stopped and a new one is created.
