Yes, Kai, I noticed there were no replies. In fact, I've noticed that
for the most part many of the folks on this list try to be as
unhelpful as possible to new posters on the list. Almost like there is
challenge over who can be the quickest on either a rude comment or put-
down.
I've been using SA for a long, long time and serve several thousand
users who are not local but situated around the world. Don't you think
you might want to know if I noticed an issue between upgrades that
might affect other SA users?
No matter, I've got tough skin and I've just as much right to publish
on the list as anyone else (and I'll probably get flamed over this). I
don't care though and any comebacks will just be ignored. I'm older
and wise enough to not be affected by that schoolyard childishness so
those that want to wast their time, have at it. I'm fast on the delete
key, emotionally immune, and I won't waste my time reading or
responding to jabs or insults.
Now, for those who want to engage is serious, and adult discussion
about what I think is a possible memory issue... I am still concerned
that there is a memory issue with SA. Because I've been aware that
under heavy loads, I've seen SA start to backup and the file count in
the queue rise into the thousands over 5 to 8 hours.
When I reinstituted the blocklists in CommuniGate Pro, the spam load
falls dramatically and SA continues to function. And yet I'm still
getting tmp files in the Submitted folder that have multiple .tmp
extensions as though spamd was being respawned by the scanspam.sh
script after a child process dies inadvertently. I started having
these issues as I said when I upgraded from 3.1.8 to 3.2.5. I also had
installed the OS X 10.5.4 update. I turned Clamav off which was being
called by cgpav with no change. I've run CG Pro even without SA and
there is no problem, even without the blocklists. CGPro easily can
handle the 100,000 plus spam our server gets in a day.
I've been wondering if this could be simply an inherent interpretive
slow-down in Perl. I had not compiled with sa-compile, but plan to do
that today or tomorrow as soon as I get re2c installed to see if there
is a performance improvement. I'll be interested to see how this
affects the multiple .tmp extensions. I'd be very interested to hear
from anyone else who've had issues like these that seemed to be
improved with compilation.
All respectful and cordial replies will be greeted with equal
response. ;-)

You notice that you didn't answer the question about memory? Until
now you
haven't verified at all that the problem is connected to sa.
