Is there any reason why you couldn't just use the unix ulimit command in the script that launches the spamd daemon ? Are the spamd children threads or processes ? If they're just forked processes, shouldn't they inherit the ulimit values of the parent ? If one of them went over it's ulimit it would be killed. Whether the message being processed would then pass through unscanned or not, and whether the parent spamd would notice and respawn a replacement is another matter though... :) Regards, Simon

Same thing I saw, except in my case, it was 320MB. Once a child
had it, it never let it go until terminated (or hit the default 200
connection limit).
Is there a Perl equivalent to the Unix 'setrlimit' or 'ulimit'
function? (IE something to set the max data size that a process is
allowed to use).
Just set it to limit the child processes to something reasonable,
(say 50~100MB) and have them die if it is exceeded.

Re: SA 3.0 is eating up all my memory!!!
Well, a weekend update: Nothing has changed here. I removed EVERYTHING (except for local.cf) from /etc/mail/spamassassin, and still it chews as much memory as it could get.

I will try upgrading my PERL distrib to the lastest, and then reinstall, because nothing gives me any hints, not even running spamd in debug mode... I insist, I have another four servers with identical configs, same perl distro, same OS, same sendmail and spamassmilter versions, and only in this one thing gone really bad, the other four seem even a little bit faster after the upgrade... I NEVER ran BigEvil, here in Argentina, it doesn't seem necessary to me...

How do I limit this? Well, the oldest (I don't know about 'master') spamd there is 9289, which is only using 66M. And to all intents, you only have 3 spamd processes doing anything, the rest are just sitting there. I'm not sure what is creating 14 of the beasts, but it looks like you could probably get away with 6 or so just fine at that workload. That would save you 80M or so. 80M doesn't strike me as unusual for spamd if you have any of the addon rulesets. So I'd suggest you don't limit the 80M if you want to catch spam. Instead you work with it and perhaps limit the number of 80M instances. One thing I notice is that you seem to be near the swap limit as well as memory limit. I think you would be a lot better off if you weren't completely out of swap space. Try taking swap up to some larger size, like maybe at least the size of memory, rather than half the size of memory.

Re: SA 3.0 is eating up all my memory!!!
BigEvil.cf - it's one of the add-on rulesets available on the net, and one
that is notoriously huge, and thus a heavy consumer of memory. It's also
one Chris Santerre built, so jdow was giving Chris a bit of a ribbing there.
In any event, if you're using any add-on .cf files in
/etc/mail/spamassassin, try moving them out temporarily, and restarting
spamd. Pay particular attention to the size of the files. Be suspicious of
anything over 100k or so.

Re: SA 3.0 is eating up all my memory!!!
Yes, I'm running bayes and AWL, but it has been running all the way from the very first releases which supported Bayes. Anyway, here's my local.cf (trimmed) it also has a large number of whitelist entries, since many many mails from yahoo get tagged as spam because they send the email ususlly three hours in the future, and because many suppliers of the Faculty send spammy-like mails, but I've cut them out, and I'm only sending the (I think) relevant part.

Re: SA 3.0 is eating up all my memory!!!
ok, all I had in the /etc/mail/spamassassin dir was my local.cf and the init.pre. I've cleaned the local.cf according to the list of obsolete rules and directives, and still it is eating as much memory as it can... No idea why, the setup is the same as for another 4 production servers, it started all when I upgraded to 3.0...

Something is seriously wrong with your setup! Move all cf files except local.cf out of the /etc/mail/spamassassin dir and restart spamd. What does it read then?

ok, the virus warning issues have been solved, but NOT the fact that I have 22 copies of spamd running at the same time, even when I´ve limited the number of max children of Sendmail to 20, and each copy of spamd weights 21 MB! How can I limit the amount of memory spamd is chewing?

I have an antivirus running as a milter, how do I disable the virus tests in SA, and also, why do I have this warnings? Those aren't virus tests, those are tests for "Someone sent a virus using your address and my virus scanner is stupidly telling you about it" type emails. They are also not a part of spamassassin's default rules, they are an add on called bogus-virus-warnings.cf . If you don't want the ruleset, remove it.

Re: SA 3.0 is eating up all my memory!!!
Well, I can't solve *all* of your problems, but I can help with one of them: Luis Hernán Otegui wrote: I'm having 51 issues when I run spamassassin --lint. I've clean the obsolete options from local.cf, but the rest of the issues come (apparently) from badly defined rules in the local.cf file, but I'm still getting this: warning: description for VIRUS_WARNING251 is over 50 chars etc. You've got a third-party ruleset installed that isn't compatible with SA 3.0. Look in /etc/mail/spamassassin (or wherever your config files are) for the file and either delete it or find the site you downloaded it from and see if there is a new one. I have an antivirus running as a milter, how do I disable the virus tests in SA, and also, why do I have this warnings? Actually, I suspect those are tests for notices *about* viruses. Many people have their antivirus programs set to send a notice to the "sender" of a virus, but they forget that the sender is almost always fake. So in addition to actual copies of a virus, some people get lots of these misdirected notices during an outbreak. I know there's at least one ruleset designed to filter them out, and I suspect that's what you have installed. -- Kelson Vibber SpeedGate Communications
