I'm running spamassassin 3.1.0 as spamd with the following command line
options:
-m 5 --max-conn-per-child=5 -u mail --ident-timeout=30 -s
/var/log/spamd.log -D --round-robin
When I receive a certain email (or a few from the same top level domain)
it hangs spamassassin as it tries to allocate a boatload of memory
(excerpt from top, this is a 512MB machine):
PID USER PR NI VIRT RES SHR S %CPU %MEM TIME+ COMMAND
6076 mail 18 0 876m 452m 660 R 7.3 91.4 0:22.34 spamd
By the way, before anyone asks, I have the following in my exim.conf
having been bitten by large emails before, so it's not that:
accept condition = ${if >{$message_size}{500k}{yes}{no}}
That's been working fine until this email started coming through.
Cheers,
