Hello
I'm new to spamassassin and need some help.
First spamassassin is version 3.0.1 on mac OSX 10.3.9 running on a
communigate server. I have an interface that we use call MPP which is
basically a webmin module to control spamassassin, clamav, mailshell,
and such. I have been getting some errors that we never received
before. (server reached --max-clients setting, consider raising it ).
This is not a very busy server and I don't know why we would be
getting these errors. I did some searching to avoid asking questions
that have already been answered but I'm still at a loss to figure out
how to fix this. Here is a bit from our log

On the message boards some have said this is a bug with max-clients
supposing to be max-children. I'm not sure where to make this change.
I tried in my local.cf file but got errors when I tried to lint. Any
help would be appreciated
Thanks
Nick
