I'm seeing a heavy cpu usage in some process of spamd for a long time and sometimes they just hang there until I kill them(usage goes from 80% to 97%). Also my system is reporting a high iowait load and a high disk usage that stops if a shutdown spammassassin processes.
This is normal? Anyone with the same problem??
Define "for a long time"... Minutes? Hours?
Less than a minute, but wen it hangs, it hangs there until i kill it. I haved noticed that this spamd process hanging is ocurring with the same user almost all the times. That means anything to you?
From the sounds of it, it looks like SA is doing an opportunistic expiry on your bayes DB.. But that should only take a few minutes unless things are really haywire or your box is really slow.
Try running a sa-learn -D --force-expire on the command line and see if that runs smoothly.
Also, look around for bayes_toks.expire<pid #> files laying around next to your bayes DB.. that's a very clear sign SA is being killed while running expiry.
I'm going to try that. Thanks again!
