I am testing spamassassin at home for possible use at work, where there are 1000+ users as opposed to one. I keep seeing two errors in particular popping up and Im not even sure if they are worth worrying about as, I beleive Ive come up with a solution for one... anyway. Im running spamassassin on an openbsd3.3 box (PIII 500 with 396MB RAM) running perl5.80 and spamassassin 2.50 and sendmail, I retrieve my mail using fetchmail. This is totally different from the machine ill be using at work which will run red hat 9 and use sendmail and spamassassin 2.50. The errors I have been seeing here at home are
1) when I recieve a large amount of mail (for me) I get an error at the console: timeout waiting for input from local during Draining Input, which is also repeated in /var/log/messages - as a user, I am brought to a halt - whatever command I type ps, who, ls I get a complaint that something can't fork. when I login as root and do a ps -ax I see what I expect to see, which is a bunch of instances of sendmail. I reboot and all is well... This will not be possible at work to reboot whenever a large number of messages come in. I ran perl -MSocket -e'print SOMAXCONN' as the spamd manpage suggested and 128 is the number - is this why when I get 150+ messages the system drops to its knees? So I am now running spamd with -c -d -m 50 hoping this will cure the problem. any other suggestions? I (for home useage) am also running fetchmail with --fetchlimit 50 and --batchlimit 50 hoping to alos lighten the load a bit and getting all my messages instantly isnt a priority... 2) in my mail log I see spamd making a complaint like this: razor2 check skipped: permission denied. Can't call method "log" on unblessed reference at /usr/local/libdata/perl5/siet_perl/Razor2/client/Agent.pm line 212 I have razor installed but am not using it right now - is this a problem? is it causing problems? I doubt it - just curious what it about...
