SA is looping

[Olivier Nicole <on...@cs.ait.ac.th>]

Hi,

Since few days ago, I have SA looping on certain messages.

mail<root>: spamassassin -V
SpamAssassin version 3.1.5
  running on Perl version 5.8.8
mail<root>: uname -a
FreeBSD mail.cs.ait.ac.th 4.11-RELEASE-p21 FreeBSD 4.11-RELEASE-p21 #7: Fri Sep  8 14:14:27 ICT 2006     root@mail.cs.ait.ac.th:/usr/obj/usr/src/sys/SMALL  i386
running throug spamd.

For example one message has been checking for more than one hour:

mail<root>: ps auwwx | grep perl
a105016  24575 23.1  4.3 47708 44620  ??  R     3:41PM  41:14.09 spamd child (perl5.8.8)
mail<root>: grep 24575 /var/log/maillog | tail -3
Sep 20 15:54:02 mail spamd[24575]: spamd: connection from localhost [127.0.0.1] at port 3519 
Sep 20 15:54:02 mail spamd[24575]: spamd: setuid to a105016 succeeded 
Sep 20 15:54:02 mail spamd[24575]: spamd: processing message <20...@webmail.katamail.com> for a105016:6070 

The log show no error and nothing more than the fact that SA started

Any clue on what could be the cause/how to locate the looping part?

Best regards,

Olivier

Hi,

I found out that SA would loop for just any meesage for certain
specific user.

It turns out that these users are over quota in their home directory
where SA would store the various bayes db, autowhitelist db etc.

Is there a way to prevent looping when over quota?

It could be just upgrading SA nbecause the problem is addressed in a
later version.

Best regards,

Olivier
