We are running exim with spamassassin on our gateways and on exim paniclog I am seeing this message:
spam acl condition: error reading from spamd socket: Connection timed out on a regular basis (may be once ever 5-10 mins). We have the following setting for spamd: /usr/bin/spamd -d -x -m 30 --max-conn-per-child=150 --timeout-tcp=30 --timeout-child=200 --socketpath=/var/run/spamd_socket -u exim -r /var/run/spamd.pid On /var/log/mail, I get the following: spamd[11077]: prefork: child states: BBBB spamd[11077]: prefork: child states: BBBBI spamd[11077]: prefork: child states: BBBII Still a long way off 30 children For exim we have: local_scan_timeout = 10m receive_timeout = 0s rfc1413_query_timeout = 0s smtp_receive_timeout = 12m I have seen that other people had this problem as well. Any idea of what to do? Regards Sujit -- The University of Westminster is a charity and a company limited by guarantee. Registration number: 977818 England.
