I upgraded from 3.0.4 yesterday without too much trouble...once I got 3.1.2 online, I noticed a nice reduction in false negatives, and cpu remained low (holiday here in US).
This morning, spamd died with no warning, except of course a huge increase in spam. Nothing in /var/log/messages, and only this in maillog: May 30 08:19:27 mail spamd[83175]: spamd: result: Y 44 - BAYES_99,EXTRA_MPART_TY PE,HELO_DYNAMIC_HCC,HELO_DYNAMIC_IPADDR2,HTML_90_100,HTML_IMAGE_ONLY_08,HTML_MES SAGE,HTML_SHORT_LINK_IMG_1,INFO_TLD,MIME_HTML_MOSTLY,RAZOR2_CF_RANGE_51_100,RAZO R2_CF_RANGE_E4_51_100,RAZOR2_CHECK,RCVD_IN_NJABL_DUL,URIBL_JP_SURBL,URIBL_OB_SUR BL,URIBL_SC_SURBL,URIBL_WS_SURBL scantime=1.5,size=13627,user=simscan,uid=0,requ ired_score=6.0,rhost=localhost.pil.net,raddr=127.0.0.1,rport=2895,mid=<000c01c68 [EMAIL PROTECTED]>,bayes=0.999999999998609,autolearn=spam May 30 08:19:34 mail spamc[83329]: connect(AF_INET) to spamd at 127.0.0.1 failed, retrying (#1 of 3): Connection refused May 30 08:19:34 mail spamc[83359]: connect(AF_INET) to spamd at 127.0.0.1 failed, retrying (#1 of 3): Connection refused It took me about an hour and a half to notice it. I restarted spamd and it's going ok at moderate cpu use. Here are my flags with which I start spamd: /usr/local/bin/spamd -m 15 -d -x -r /var/run/spamd.pid The only changes I made with the upgrade were that I enabled SPF, DCC and Pyzor. When building the new version, it did complain about an outdated razor2 software, but as it was only a warning (and I'd never had problems with it before), I didn't bother to UG. Any ideas as to the possible cause? James Smallacombe PlantageNet, Inc. CEO and Janitor [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://3.am =========================================================================
