Spamassassin very slow
Hi guys, Last day my mail server became very slow. I haven't found any mysterious errors/warnings in /var/log/message and maillog. When I disable spammilter in sendmail it became fast. What causes spamassassin to slow? Here is my config: snippet from sendmail.mc FEATURE(`local_procmail_lmtp') . . . FEATURE(dnsbl,`all.rbl.jp')dnl dnl MAILER(local) MAILER(procmail)dnl MAILER(smtp) INPUT_MAIL_FILTER(`spamassassin',`S=local:/var/run/spamass-milter.sock, F=, T=C:15m;S:4m;R:4m;E:10m')dnl INPUT_MAIL_FILTER(`clmilter', `S=local:/var/run/clamav/clmilter.sock, F=, T=S:4m;R:4m')dnl define(`confINPUT_MAIL_FILTERS', `clmilter,spamassassin')dnl I have .procmailrc in every home directory of my mail users and it goes like this: :0fw: spamassassin.lock | /usr/local/bin/spamc :0: * ^X-Spam-Level: \*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\* /dev/null :0: * ^X-Spam-Status: Yes Probably-Spam I also have RulesDuJour installed and spammassassin --lint does complain about it. spamassassin process: 11894 ??

Re: Spamassassin very slow
Thanks james. I thought before that spamc on .procmailrc handle checking mail for outgoing (mail from local user) and milter in sendmail handle incoming mail checking.

Here is my config:
snippet from sendmail.mc
.. ..
I have .procmailrc in every home directory of my mail users and it goes
like
this:
The following setup by the front line mx's (2 of them) for apache.org
can handle ~1million messages/day for a total of 2million without
breaking a sweat.
No .procailrc involved.
/etc/rc.conf:
postfix_enable="YES"
sendmail_enable="NO"
sendmail_submit_enable="NO"
sendmail_outbound_enable="NO"
sendmail_msp_queue_enable="NO"
rbldnsd_enable="YES"
rbldnsd_flags="MASKED OUT"
svscan_enable="YES"
clamav_clamd_enable="YES"
clamav_freshclam_enable="YES"
spamd_enable="YES"
spamd_pidfile="/var/run/spamd/spamd.pid"
spamd_flags="--min-children=4 --max-children=40 --min-spare=2
--max-spare=8 --max-conn-per-child=100 -c -d
--socketpath=/var/run/spamd/socket --socketmode=0777 -r ${spamd_pidfile}"
Thats FreeBSD 6.x (soon to be 7.x when I update it)
httpd 2.2.9+worker mpm with qpsmtp using mod_perl
in my consulting buss, for sendmail I use the following sendmail.mc snippet:
INPUT_MAIL_FILTER(`clmilter',`S=local:/var/run/clamav/clmilter.sock, F=,
T=S:4m;R:4m')
INPUT_MAIL_FILTER(`spamassassin', `S=local:/var/run/spamass-milter.sock,
F=, T=C:15m;S:4m;R:4m;E:10m')
define(`confMILTER_MACROS_ENVRCPT',`r, v, Z')
define(`confMILTER_MACROS_CONNECT',`b, j, _, {daemon_name}, {if_name},
{if_addr}')
That said, all individual users do you ~/.procmailrc, with the following
rule:
:0

Re: Spamassassin very slow
That says you are driving spamd into swapping. The two canonical
reasons for SpamAssassin to be really slow are dead BL sites or
overrunning memory and going into heavy swapping. You made a
change to reduce the amount of swapping. Hence you probably have
too many children at any one time.
Modify your minimum and maximum number of children. For best results
you MAY want only one child per processor you can spare from other
work. Regardless, use "top" to see when you go into swapping with the
spamd load. When you do, back off the number of children running at
any given time.
Check rule sets you are using with RDJ. Some of them require incredible
amounts of memory to run. I run enough rules to pull down about 60
megabytes of memory. There are some rule sets that can go over 100
megabytes on the SARE site (SpamAssassin Rules Emporium). 40 children
at 100 megabytes each could use a "lot of machine". {^_-}
You might consider investigating the spamassassin users list at
apache.org. You can find it via the SpamAssassin home page,

Extra rules can slow you down regardless of syntax, but most computers
created this decade can handle RulesDuJour fine. Personally I think your

The
spamassassin queues most likely get filled followed by sendmail having to
wait and queue up the slack.
