Upgrading from 3.1.7 to 3.2.4 resulted in my server becoming seriously overloaded. Normally I see 3 to 6 slaves running with scan times averaging 5-10 seconds. After upgrade, 10 slaves (my max setting) were busy constantly with scan time running 60 to 300 seconds. CPU utilization pegged at 100%. Typical traffic is about 10,000/day.
I tried the following, but there was no significant improvement: Disabling RBL checks Disabling bayes Disabling RCVD_IN_WHOIS, RCVD_IN_WHOIS_INVALID, URIBL_COMPLETEWHOIS I installed SA-3.1.9 and processing seemed to return to normal, but I get the following error: Slave 0 stderr: Use of uninitialized value in pattern match (m//) at /usr/lib/perl5/site_perl/5.8.0/Mail/SpamAssassin/Message/Node.pm line 125.
