>From top: 28702 nobody 25 0 781m 714m 1796 R 99.9 35.5 4:11.72 spamd That's the "runaway process." # strace -f -p 28702 Process 28702 attached - interrupt to quit That's all it does. I never see anything else. It then continues to chew up both processors untill I killall and restart spamd. If I kill just that PID, another spamd PID takes over and uses 100% cpu. About the only thing I can do is run a cron script that kills all of spamd and restarts it. However, that is a VERY ugly fix :) Thanks.
