Hi,
Today it noticed a high percentage of (what I considered) "false
negatives" and very few postives. Checking mail headers I found out that
most of the messages had no SA markup at all, i.e. was very probably never
processed with SA. To make it short, spamc would not work and no spamd
process running. Checking syslog I found out that spamd was started
successfully and checked some messages:

Nov  8 19:27:08 jan spamd[367]: clean message (-0.4/5.0) for jk:1000 in
1.7 seco


Then, not quite surprisingly:

Nov  8 19:27:22 jan spamd[194]: hit max-children limit (10): waiting for
some to exit


A few lines later, spamd seems to have disappeared:

Nov  8 19:27:28 jan spamc[703]: connect() to spamd at 127.0.0.1 failed,
retrying
 (1/3): Connection refused


I attached all SA related syslog messages in case I might have missed
something important (gziped). There's nothing strange in fetchmail's or
exim's log.

Is this a know problem that spamd (or perl??) crashed?
Should I file bugreport?
Should a crashing spamd have left any traces I should have found (logs,
core dumps)?
Can this have something to do with my low 'max children' (10) limit? My
machine could process more messages at a time, I just like it that way,
leaving most possible CPU time to foreground processes.
