I've got a boat load of these in my maillog: Mar 9 04:39:12 database spamd[3881]: prefork: server reached --max-children setting, consider raising it
It occurs whenever we get a burst of spam and all the child threads are busy. I'm using a sendmail, spamass-milter, SpamAssassin configuration. The messages are not even analyzed when all the child threads are busy. They come straight through without any X-Spam headers. I've upped --max-children to 15. That worked for a few months but not anymore. What can I do to make the server wait on spamd? Is it a spamd, spamc, spamass-milter, or sendmail setting? Most of the time the server is hardly working so I'm confident it could catch up. We just get a whole bunch of these spam messages at once. -- View this message in context: http://www.nabble.com/Spam-getting-through%3A-server-reached---max-children-tp16043151p16043151.html Sent from the SpamAssassin - Users mailing list archive at Nabble.com.
