I'm following up here finally after discovering the real culprit: bayes_auto_expire 0
needs to be set. A recent version of spamassassin switched this to 1 by default, which makes spamassassin go through it's token expiry routines for every mail processed. This is hugely disk intensive, and is most likely what we're all seeing. On the other hand, it did finally make me think about handling token expiry in spamassassin, so I now cron expiry for my users and shut off auto-expiry in spamd. -- ----------------------------------------------------------------- | ,''`.
