Got an interesting problem... I am running spamd in a client/server config... ie spamd runs remotely on a separate system from my client system that is running sendmail. The performance gain is decent, problem is if too many spamd connections are made, spamd eats its host box for breakfast. This wouldn't be an issue if I was running spamd on the same machine as sendmail/spamc since sendmail has the ability to load-limit... ie, refuse connections if it is at a certain loadavg, but the through-put sucks. What I need is to make spamd smart enough to put on the brakes if it is too busy. Anybody have any ideas as to how to accomplish this?
