Hey Kyle, Last we spoke this issue seems to be caused by too much mail coming in at once and causing the spamassassin to run very slow.
There are a few things you could do. 1) Edit /var/qmail/supervise/spamd/run. After #!/bin/sh but before exec, add in these two lines: LANG=C export LANG This should make perl run a hell of a lot faster, as it will skip some of the internationalization stuff. 2) You can lower the amount of concurrencyincoming so as to keep less mail from being accepted at once. This should help spamd, and since other mail servers will retry it should cause no mail to be lost 3) You can get a few extra boxes and run spamassasin's spamd on it, and reconfigure spamc to use the other destiation hosts. This will require rebuilding the simscan package with "--enable-spamc-args" enabled for remote scanning. As far as making sure spam gets moved into the right folder, that's not easy to apply across the board. The only real way to do it would be to write a script that pulls the folder and ensures that the mailfilter is set in everyones home directory. Then just cron this to run every so often.
