Hi,
I don't mind taking RAM since I have 3GB. I can raise the amount of
child processes and I wanted to find out how much RAM does each child
takes so I can decide how many max children to raise it without
killing my system. Also I would like to check where to raise the
max-child and I was doing in my /etc/rc.d/init.d/spamd on my RedHat
linux system.
spamd -d -m 20 -H
I'm having 20 max child processes now and curious why I'm still
seeing these messages.
Thank you,
Frank
--max-children setting, consider raising it>
I'm still getting these error messages in my log:
server reached --max-children setting, consider raising it
You get that message if your spamd has less children than you mail
server has smtp threads. I have only --max-children 2 and the limit
gets hit very often.. But I don't care.
Each spamd child takes his part of RAM and I'm not willing to give
them more than 2. Mail just gets serialized, but it gets done too.
You can lower you mail server threads, or raise your
--max-children.. it all depends how much ram you have. But
SpamAssassin certainly works fine while those messages get logged.
When max-children setting is reached, the messages are put in queue,
and server later when childs are ready.
