Some mail seems to hog spamd process
Hi. Since yesterday I am having problem with spamd processes hogging cpu. All is fine until suddenly spamd keeps using 95% cpu forever. I noticed that bayes.lock also contains the pid of the hogging process. After some minutes I kill the pid and removes bayes.lock by hand, but it only takes a few minutes until the situation is the same again. I tailed the log trying to find some answers but only found Sat Sep 23 12:50:25 2006 [13787] info: spamd: connection from localhost [127.0.0.1] at port 52807 Sat Sep 23 12:50:25 2006 [13787] info: spamd: checking message [EMAIL PROTECTED] for nobody:58 Does anyone have an idea on how to solve this? Regards, Andreas
Re: Some mail seems to hog spamd process
I have completely missed the recent thread SA increasing load average a lot and spams getting through, which seems to reflect exactly the same problem I'm having. For completeness I use SA 3.1.5 and haven't changed any cf the last few days. Theres absolute not any high volume of mail. Plenty of time to process one mail at a time.

Re: bayes sync is hogging cpu (was: Some mail seems to hog spamd process)
Hi, me again ;) I'm pretty confident that the hogging occurs when SA is trying to sync the bayes. The bayes_journal is cleared exactly when the hogging begins. And when I run sa-learn --sync I get the very same hogging effect. The permissions seems ok, doesn't it? -rw--- 1 spamd wheel20 Sep 23 13:28 bayes.lock -rw--- 1 spamd wheel 2760 Sep 23 13:28 bayes_journal -rw-r--r-- 1 spamd wheel 83755008 Sep 23 13:28 bayes_seen -rw--- 1 spamd wheel 83853312 Sep 23 13:28 bayes_toks Regards, Andreas
