Generally it means that 5 can be checked at once, and any more will be
queued by whatever is sending the mail to spamd.  At some point if spamd
gets too far behind, the thing queuing the mail may decide to bypass spamd
and you will see some unscanned mail until the queue recovers.

Spamd will also refuse to scan mail over some size, typically 250KB.

SpamAssassin not always checking emails

2006-03-04 Thread Will Nordmeyer








Hi,

 

I did some searching on the FAQ & the archives of this
list and didn’t see my issue.  Sometimes I (or users on my server)
receive emails that have no SpamAssassin header data.

 

I have SpamAssassin 3.1.0 Running via the spamd daemon (here’s
the daemon startup line:

 

daemon /home/spam-filter/bin/spamd -d -c -m 5
--socketpath=/home/spam-filter/tmp/spamd.sock -H /home/spam-filter/razor

 

I know that means a max of 5 child processes – does that
mean 5 simultaneous emails can be checked and the rest will be passed without
being checked?
