SpamAssassin timed out and was killed

[leiw <le...@yahoo.com.hk>]

Hello,

The following package for my company mail-gateway:

Centos 4.4
spamassassin-3.2.0-1.el4.rf
clamd-0.90.2-1.el4.rf
MailScanner-perl-MIME-Base64-3.05-5
postfix-2.2.10-1.RHEL4.2

I was checked the maillog that always show the following message:

May 16 10:29:01 mailgateway MailScanner[7437]: SpamAssassin timed out and
was killed, failure 6 of 10

Is my computer not enough RAM to process spamassassin ?


Thanks

Odds are Mailscanner killed it during bayes expiry.

Check for several left over bayes_*.expire file in your bayes directory.

My suggestion would be to increase your spamassassin timeout in your
mailscanner.conf. Personally, I've got mine set to 15 minutes (900
seconds), largely because I have *never* run into an instance where
spamassassin really got hung up in such a way that MailScanner had to
kill it. Every such timeout has been an error on MailScanner's part, not
SA's.

In lieu of that, or perhaps in addition, you can try disabling
bayes_auto_expire in your local.cf file, then run "sa-learn
--force-expire" a couple times a day from a cronjob.
