I have used spamassassin over a year on my mail server, using James as pop/smtp and a homewritten mailet to connect to spamd through tcp. Yesterday I suddenly discovered load average peaks over 100 (!!!) on the server, and soon found this :
22617 spamd 18 0 1830m 1.6g 2156 D 2 54.2 2:00.59 spamd . Yea, one instance of spamd uses 1,6 *GIGABYTE* of memory. This forces my server to swap, which makes the server dead slow. It happens some time after I have started SA, but mails get through fine before this happens. information about my system: cat /etc/sysconfig/spamassassin # Options to spamd (-D for debug logging) SPAMDOPTIONS="-D -d -c -m 4 -H -u spamd" I was using spamassassin v 3.1.9, but have now upgraded to 3.2.6, without this fixing the problem. plugins: I don't know which information is important so I list everything : I'm using URIDNSBL, Hashcash and SPF, ImageInfo, VBounce,Bayes,BodyEval,DNSEval,HTMLEval,HEaderEval,MIMEEval,RelayEval,URIEval,WLBLEval,HTTPSMismatch,URIDetail DCC,Pyzor,Razor2,SpamCop,AWL,AutoLearnThreshold,WhiteListSubject,MimeHeader,ReplaceTags . No rules over 150k. The debug log seems to give only "normal" output, but i *think* this is what it wrote when SA started to eat my memory : metadata: X-Spam-Relays-Trusted: Jan 27 23:38:25 s2 spamd[30682]: metadata: X-Spam-Relays-Untrusted: [ ip=80.202.4.58 rdns=osl1smout1.broadpark.no helo=osl1smout1.broadpark.no by=www.refero.n Jan 27 23:38:25 s2 spamd[30682]: metadata: X-Spam-Relays-Internal: Jan 27 23:38:25 s2 spamd[30682]: metadata: X-Spam-Relays-External: [ ip=80.202.4.58 rdns=osl1smout1.broadpark.no helo=osl1smout1.broadpark.no by=www.refero.ne Jan 27 23:38:25 s2 spamd[30682]: message: ---- MIME PARSER START ---- Jan 27 23:38:25 s2 spamd[30682]: message: parsing multipart, got boundary: Boundary_(ID_d1hvhmVn8zITA06RMg8o+g) Jan 27 23:38:25 s2 spamd[30682]: message: found part of type text/plain, boundary: Boundary_(ID_d1hvhmVn8zITA06RMg8o+g) Jan 27 23:38:25 s2 spamd[30682]: message: added part, type: text/plain Jan 27 23:38:40 s2 spamd[30682]: message: found part of type application/ms-tnef, boundary: Boundary_(ID_d1hvhmVn8zITA06RMg8o+g) Jan 27 23:38:40 s2 spamd[30682]: message: added part, type: application/ms-tnef Jan 27 23:38:40 s2 spamd[30682]: message: parsing normal part Jan 27 23:38:40 s2 spamd[30682]: message: parsing normal part Jan 27 23:38:43 s2 spamd[30675]: prefork: ordered 30683 to accept Jan 27 23:38:43 s2 spamd[30675]: prefork: sysread(8) not ready, wait max 300 secs Jan 27 23:38:43 s2 spamd[30675]: prefork: child 30683: entering state 2 Jan 27 23:38:43 s2 spamd[30675]: prefork: new lowest idle kid: none Anybody have a clue? -- View this message in context: http://www.nabble.com/Spamd-uses-over-1-gigabyte-of-memory-in-one-child-tp15125515p15125515.html Sent from the SpamAssassin - Users mailing list archive at Nabble.com.
