Re: prefork error
raulbe wrote: What I did was turn off auto_learn and that cleared up the error. So would doing this would it affect how bayes works or? Well, yes. All Bayes training will now have to be done manually. What's usually a slightly better idea for a global Bayes database is to set these Bayes options: bayes_learn_to_journal 1 bayes_auto_expire 0 and make sure to set up a cron job to run "sa-learn --sync --force-expire" periodically (I've been finding daily is a good idea; YMMV). So all thats left is this error spamd[29330]: prefork: child states: BIBI This isn't an error, it's an informational message telling you what spamd's children are doing. If you really want to get rid of it, you'll either have to shift the logging threshold for the "mail" facility in syslog until it goes away (thus likely losing a great deal of valuable log data from both SA and other sources) or fiddle the SA source so that those messages get sent with a "debug" priority, and set syslog to not log debug-priority messages. Unless you're *really* horribly short on disk (I can recall a few systems I might have considered that on), it's not worth worrying about. -kgd

Re: prefork error
What I did was turn off auto_learn and that cleared up the error. So would doing this would it affect how bayes works or? Also doing the editing in confQUEUE_LA confREFUSE_LA confDELAY_LA totaly cleared up the prefork: server reached --max-children setting, consider raising it error i was getting. So all thats left is this error spamd[29330]: prefork: child states: BIBI any ideas to clear that one up? Thanks for the help.

Try using round-robin rather than prefork scheduling with your SA.
( add the "--round-robin" command line option to your spamd startup).
We had similar prefork issues with our installation and switching to
round-robin fixed it.
