I'm having a problem in that I have spamd started by /etc/init.d/spamassassin 
with the "-d -c -u" parameters, but everytime the email client starts the 
filter (in KMail, using a filter that just pipes the email into 
"/usr/bin/spamc" with no parameters), it starts a brand new spamd process.

The output from ps is below, both before an email arrives, and during (wasn't 
a trick to catch it during, since /var/log/mail/info reports spamc taking 
anywhere from 15-30 seconds PER EMAIL).

My questions are:

WHY is it taking so long to process each email?

And WHY does it start a new spamd process? I thought spamd was a "server" of 
sorts, and would just process each request from spamc as it came in???

Thanks for any answers!
