-max-child setting not obeyed?
Hi, I have set my --max-child to 30 but I look at my logs and it appears that this is not obeyed. Here is my spamd options: SPAMDOPTIONS=-d -m 30 -H Here is what I see in the logs: Feb 28 10:57:29 s1 spamd[15535]: prefork: child states: B Feb 28 10:57:29 s1 spamd[15535]: prefork: server reached --max-children setting, consider raising it Feb 28 10:57:29 s1 spamd[15740]: spamd: connection from localhost.localdomain [127.0.0.1] at port 45480 Feb 28 10:57:29 s1 spamd[15740]: spamd: checking message [EMAIL PROTECTED] for qscand:510 Feb 28 10:57:31 s1 spamd[15740]: spamd: identified spam (106.3/8.0) for qscand:510 in 2.8 seconds, 862 bytes.

Here is my spamd options: SPAMDOPTIONS=-d -m 30 -H Does whatever you start spamd with actually use those options? Are you sure (check the command line of the running spamd using top, etc)? It appears I hit 5 child processes as shown child states: B but it doesn't want to go higher for some reason. Why is it stopping at 5 child processes when in spamd I specify 30. I would be extremely surprised to find that spamd is actually being started with an -m 30 option (unless an -m 5 option follows it). Daryl

Re: -max-child setting not obeyed?
Hi, Thank you Steve for this. I found that /etc/sysconfig/spamassassin had the other SPAMOPTIONS so I updated my -m 20 there and it appears to take.

I see these server reached --max-children setting, consider raising it during spam attacks.
