Hello spamhunters,

i upgraded two mailservers from 3.0.4 to 3.1.0.

Like others on this mailing list, i am having a performance issue.

platform:
Spamasassin 3.1.0 (upgraded from ports)
Perl 5.8.6
FreeBSD 5.4
qmail + vpopmail + qmail-scanner

Both server have 1Go of Ram and two Xeon 2,4 with HTT enabled.

Everything goes fine after spamd started. But after a while, spamd
processes takes the whole CPU until i kill them.

i got something like that:
  PID USERNAME PRI NICE   SIZE    RES STATE  C   TIME   WCPU    CPU COMMAND
14228 vpopmail 114    0 28048K 26524K CPU0   0  23.5H 99.02% 99.02% perl5.8.6
14229 vpopmail 114    0 26876K 25420K CPU2   2  23.3H 99.02% 99.02% perl5.8.6

I removed all *.cf rules i always use to keep it fast but anyway,
after a while, it's away.

in the log file:
spamc[52447]: connect(AF_INET) to spamd at 127.0.0.1 failed, retrying (#1 of 
3): Operation timed out


Does anyone knows what's the hell is going on ?
Does anyone got better performance with perl 5.8.7 ?

I read somewhere that spamassassin changed the way to fork process,
and know is similar to apache httpd. Is it linked ?

Hope to read good news from all of you

Mathieu CHATEAU
