Which SA filter are you using? If you're using bayesian with SA, then the bayesian word db implements a lock file allowing one spamd process to read/write from it at one time. SA will become your bottleneck if you have enough threads running. Spamd is configured to run a maxiumum of 10 children at a time.
My sa filter uses unique temporary file names so this could not happen. -Don --------- Original Message -------- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Subject: [xmail] Highload Date: 02/11/04 13:37 > > > > I was wondering if it is possible that xmail confuses mails in the > following situation: > > - Xmail 1.17 > - Spamassassin 2.61 > - Windows 2003 > > > I had a situation where at one point in time dozens of emails were > processed in just a few seconds causing an overload on the server where > even the dell management software started to complain the disk was > beeing overloaded.
