Hi KAM,
No, there's nothing in the master.cf them indicates anything to do with logging
verbosely. No occurrences of "-v" and no mention of "log" or logging, etc.
Do you know why the spamfilter entries in the log file have dates going back to
October? Is the normal spamassassin behaviour that isn't usually logged, or is
it doing something unusual?
It seems to check all of them and log each check every time a new e-mail gets
processed.
Something must be set to verbose somewhere, but I haven't found it yet.
Kind regards.
Jim.

No, it's not. It's what we would call the glue. It's a content filter script
that is reaching out to a spamassassin daemon called spamd using a lightweight c
program called spamc.
SpamD allows for spamassassin to run and daemonize so you don't have to wait for
perl compilation on each and every call.
So it's:
SMTP -> Postfix -> Spamfilter.sh->spamc->spamd and back again
In your master.cf for postfix, do you have anything like smtpd -v to turn on
verbose logging?
Looking at your logs, I see tons of spamfilter calls but not very many smtp
calls. The logging doesn't have a queueid but checking the size= and the
message id's they appear to be different messages. So how are emails getting to
spamfilter.sh? Perhaps that is just because you took a small snapshot of the
logs.
Overall I don't see repetitive logging but the GB size of the logs is impressive
for a server running only 2 SPAMD children...
Regards,
KAM
