Check your startup script.
I looked in the startup script: /etc/init.d/mimedefang The only things in
there that have to do with slaves are:
# MX_SLAVE_DELAY=3
# MX_MIN_SLAVE_DELAY=0
# MX_LOG_SLAVE_STATUS_INTERVAL seconds
# MX_LOG_SLAVE_STATUS_INTERVAL=30
# MX_STATUS_UPDATES=yes
# MX_MAX_RSS=10000
# MX_MAX_AS=30000
Quite honestly none of these look like settings I could tweak to increase the
maximum number of slaves. In my maillog I have this:
Jan 14 10:40:23 Raydeus-Dee mimedefang-multiplexor[1211]: started;
minSlaves=2, maxSlaves=10, maxRequests=500,
maxIdleTime=300, busyTimeout=600, clientTimeout=10
and I think the maxSlaves looks like it is low to me.
By the way, I'm using RedHat 7.2, mimedefang version 2.48, and SpamAssassin
version 3.0.1 running on Perl version 5.8.5 (I'm basically using MimeDefang
to run Spamassassin).
Guess I need more help then this to increase maxSlaves. Sorry.
Are MX_MINIMUM and MX_MAXIMUM set to the defaults? It's says in my config
file (/etc/sysconfig/mimedefang) that "The default value of 2 is probably
too low". I set them as follows:
MX_MINIMUM=4
MX_MAXIMUM=30
I got the same errors as you when my machines were under load and bumping
these values made everything happy happy.
