Hello all,
Recently, found a vast amount of spam was coming in, that spamassassin
was supposed to kill, so had a look in the logs and found stuff like:
2006-01-28 06:52:20 1F2jwZ-0008Qr-Up SA: Debug: SAEximRunCond expand
returned: '1'
2006-01-28 06:52:20 1F2jwZ-0008Qr-Up SA: Debug: check succeeded, running
spamc
2006-01-28 06:55:46 1F2jwZ-0008Qr-Up SA: Action: SA didn't successfully
run against message, accepting (time: 206/206 secs |
Message-Id:[EMAIL PROTECTED]).

2006-01-28 06:55:46 1F2jwZ-0008Qr-Up Completed
also the server was showing very high load averages - around 7 or 8. So
I tried to fix this by restarting Spamassassin, that didn't work, so
restarted Exim and seemed to work fine:

R=local_user T=mail_spool
2006-01-28 13:24:58 1F2q4S-0004FF-IZ Completed
But then, a few minutes later, started to show very high scan times:
2006-01-28 13:25:12 1F2pzt-0004BX-Nb SA: Action: scanned but message
isn't spam: score=0.0 required=5.0 (scanned in 302/302 secs
And later, the original problem came back, but also I keep getting about
3 or 4 copies of every emails I get which is getting a bit annoying :/
I'm using Debian Sarge, along with the latest packages downloaded from
the website - SpamAssassin version 3.1.0 running on Perl version 5.8.4.
My computer system is a VIA C3 500MHz with 512mb RAM.
Thanks very much for your help in advance!
Regards - Piers
