Loren, I think I already posted a reply to this email but I don't see it in the list. If this is a duplicate I apologize. I am using SA 3.0.3. What you are suggesting as the problem makes alot of sense. I usually see this happen when my server comes back on-line after being off-line for a while. When that happens, my server gets very overloaded as the backup MX dumps whatever it was holding. I end up with over a 100 sendmail processes running at the same time. Maybe I need to reconfigure sendmail and/or spamd? I limit spamd to 5 child processes (I specify options "-d -c -m4"). Maybe this is the problem? Maybe I need more spamd processes or fewer sendmail processes?? How can I limit the number of sendmails anyway? My server gets very overloaded in those circumstances. In general, what happens if there are more sendmails than there are spamd processes? Thanks for your help! ...Jake -- Jake Colman Sr. Applications Developer Principia Partners LLC Harborside Financial Center 1001 Plaza Two Jersey City, NJ 07311 (201) 209-2467 www.principiapartners.com
