Hi! I'm using spamassassin on my system (Pentium-MMX 233 w/ 160Mb RAM), and it works fine, if I get small amount of messages. But when I get a lot of messages, the ultra-fast 233MHz processor can not take it, and it gets very slooow. My setup looks like this:
I have a 'spam' user, and I've set up postfix, to run a tiny little script as this 'spam' user. This script accepts messages thru the stdin, and it filters the message thru the spamd daemon with the spamc client. After the filtering, it sends the message using the 'sendmail' (postfix's sendmail) program. So when I'm getting a large amount of messages there is approx. 15-20 spamc/spamd running. I want to limit this to ~5. How can I do this. The spam user's passwd entry looks like this: spam:x:2528:2528:spamd:/no/where:/no/shell It has no shell, so I can not use the ulimit function in bash. But what else could I do? Thanks a lot! Daniel -- LeVA
