Same problem here now that I've added the -m to the command line.  It 
ran for a couple of weeks before adding the -m, but with a lower load.

When I started feeding all messages for my 2000 users through it, it
did fine until a big spam run, then it pushed the machine through 2 GB
of swap and took 8 hours for the machine to come back to life after
I stopped pushing more spamc requests at it.  Now that I have -m 100
I can't count on spamd being in the process table for more than 20
minutes.  Sometimes it runs for a few hours.

FreeBSD 4.6.2
Perl version 5.005_03

I ran spamd with -D but when it died, it didn't tell me why.  It just
went away.

I don't seem to be getting the DJB magic incantations right for running
spamd under daemontools.  Would someone care to tell me how it should be
configured?

My users love SpamAssassin.  They kill me when it's down for 10 minutes.

Thanks!
