Summary: spamd child in a loop
Product: Spamassassin
Version: SVN Trunk (Latest Devel Version)
Platform: Other
OS/Version: other
Status: NEW
Severity: major
Priority: P5
Component: spamc/spamd
AssignedTo: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
ReportedBy: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
been seeing this occur almost daily... have to kill -9 the pid for spamd to
respawn the child.
PID USER PRI NI SIZE RSS SHARE STAT %CPU %MEM TIME COMMAND
31833 root 20 0 29576 28M 2252 R 67.3 3.8 296:28 spamd
[EMAIL PROTECTED] root]# strace -p 31833
^C
strace never shows any output. that PID in the mail log shows the connection
comes in but never finishes processing.
[EMAIL PROTECTED] root]# grep "\[31833\]" /var/log/maillog
Jul 27 01:39:20 spamd1 spamd[31833]: connection from localhost [127.0.0.1] at
port 58116
Jul 27 01:39:20 spamd1 spamd[31833]: processing message <E1BpLcK-0001SY-
[EMAIL PROTECTED]> for [EMAIL PROTECTED]:0.
on another box, same thing...
PID USER PRI NI SIZE RSS SHARE STAT %CPU %MEM TIME COMMAND
21845 root 19 0 27164 26M 120 R 78.9 3.5 320:48 spamd
[EMAIL PROTECTED] root]# strace -p 21845
^C
[EMAIL PROTECTED] root]# grep "\[21845\]" /var/log/maillog
Jul 27 01:22:09 spamd2 spamd[21845]: connection from localhost [127.0.0.1] at
port 53224
Jul 27 01:22:09 spamd2 spamd[21845]: processing message <E1BpLLg-00066g-
[EMAIL PROTECTED]> for [EMAIL PROTECTED]:0.
the only thing in common between spamd1 and spamd2 is those particular children
both hung on message from "pink.serverstoday.com".
my log shows the mail was accepted but spamc reached it timeout of 60 seconds..

so spamc disconnected from spamd after its timeout, but those spamd children
continued to run forever for some reason.
so, should there be a spamd children timeout setting as well to prevent this?
i know the best solution is obviously figure out what caused the loop, but a
timeout on spamd children just in case would be nice dont you think?
