Hi,
I have installed spamassassin on my freebsd 6.3 and everything works great
but after some time (it could be couple of days, or hours) the CPU utilization
on spamass-milter goes to almost 100%.
I have discovered that the following messages cause the 100% utilization:
Feb 29 04:22:32 sara sm-mta[27844]: m1T9MQ2W027844: from=<[EMAIL PROTECTED]>,
size=1721, class=0, nrcpts=1, msgid=<[EMAIL PROTECTED]>, proto=SMTP,
daemon=IPv4, relay=[58.137.142.102]
Feb 29 04:22:32 sara sm-mta[27845]: m1T9MQgb027845: from=<[EMAIL PROTECTED]>,
size=1737, class=0, nrcpts=1, msgid=<[EMAIL PROTECTED]>, proto=SMTP,
daemon=IPv4, relay=[58.137.142.102]
Feb 29 04:22:32 sara spamd[27027]: spamd: connection from localhost [127.0.0.1]
at port 61494
Feb 29 04:22:32 sara spamd[27027]: spamd: processing message <[EMAIL
PROTECTED]> for root:58
Notice that sendmail receives two messages from the same relay by the same
person with almost the same msgid, one is a057... and the other one is a056...
You see from the log that the second one is processed by spamd, but the first
one causes the high cpu utilization in spam-milter. Since it is spam-milter and
not sendmail that is having problem I am thinking that there is something in
that message that is not liked by SpamAssassin.
How can I get more information logged about the message so I can find the
root-cause? Has anyone else come across this problem?
I have also posted this problem on bsdforums, because I wasn't sure if it is
a problem with freebsd:
