Usually the directories will exist somewhere in /var or /usr, my linux
is rusty, but try this command line in a new terminal window
inotifywait -rme modify,attrib,move,close_write,create,delete,delete_self /dname
change dname to appropriate directory. inotify is part of iotify-tools
on Centos, im sure you can find/install it easily enough. try different
directory roots perhaps , start mail server in another window, see what
is being accessed.
its early here too ;-)

Hi ap-ml,
This sounds interesting. Could you let me know where I should
look for the temporary files you mentioned?
I'm on the edges of my knowledge of e-mail and networking here :-)
Kind regards.
Jim.

temp files were not being deleted. Perhaps check temp & working
directories for
such a logjam of emails. Have you also checked for the message IDs
in the
logfiles in email headers to see if the files are in user emaildirs
or some
other folder?

Hi,
I've posted the spamfilter.sh file to http://pasted.co/7b794ccd
I don't see anything in there about verbose logging, but there are
two lines in there with a resemblance to your suggestion:
logger -f $SALOG -p mail.notice -t spamfilter <<<"Spam filter
piping to
SpamAssassin: $SPAMASSASSIN -x -E -s $MAX_MESSAGE_SIZE"
and
logger -s -p mail.notice -t spamfilter <<<"OK. Piping to sendmail:
$SENDMAIL $@"
The second one seems to be after-the-fact, so I think I could
modify
the first one. Should this be cut down to:
$SPAMASSASSIN -x -E -s $MAX_MESSAGE_SIZE
to avoid the logging process?
Yes, you can comment out this line:
logger -f $SALOG -p mail.notice -t spamfilter <<<"Spam filter piping
...
and this one:
logger -s -p mail.notice -t spamfilter <<<"OK. Piping to sendmail: ...
Basically, the first and last "logger" lines. That's a good start.
Regards,
Dave
