Hi Matt, thanks for your answer. Do you refer to the initial size (28 MB which is a bit more than most users of this list report) or to the "eating memory" problem? I disabled bayes and spamd launches with exactly the same memory use: 28 MB (28368 KB SIZE, 27M RSS, 2316 KB SHARE in top). So, there's no difference. BTW: the bayes db is around 20 MB and contains 15.000 spams and 2.000 hams or so. Not small, but also not huge, I think. As for the "eating memory" problem, it simply shouldn't occur with or without bayes. Maybe I wasn't clear in my first posting. This is not something which generally happens here after a while. I haven't seen it at all until some weeks ago where it happened the first time with rc3 or rc6. Then last week it happened with the final version and a whackingly 800 MB consumed (most of that biting in the swap file since the machine doesn't have that much RAM). These are the only occurences. Each one happened on another machine, so I'd see either spamd or Perl as the possible culprit. If it were bayes, I'd expect it to slowly grab more and more memory until it gets unsuable. But that is not the case. It runs for days and weeks at the same memory consumption and then suddenly starts grabbing memory. Unfortunately, I don't know when it starts and how fast it grows, I just see the result. That's in my local.cf, is there anything I should change? I do not need "full" reports at all, my milter just grabs the score and the header report. Unfortunately, there doesn't seem to be a way to tell spamd to just deliver that, or is there? rewrite_subject 0 report_safe 0 use_terse_report 1 skip_rbl_checks 1 ok_languages en de fr en pt ok_locales en check_mx_attempts 2 dns_available yes use_bayes 1 bayes_path /home/spamd/bayes/bayes bayes_file_mode 0666 auto_whitelist_path /home/spamd/awl/auto-whitelist auto_whitelist_file_mode 0666 Kai -- Kai Schätzl, Berlin, Germany Get your web at Conactive Internet Services: http://www.conactive.com IE-Center: http://ie5.de & http://msie.winware.org ------------------------------------------------------- This sf.net email is sponsored by:ThinkGeek Welcome to geek heaven. http://thinkgeek.com/sf _______________________________________________ Spamassassin-talk mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/spamassassin-talk
