Spamd Children

[The Help Guy <he...@nantucket.net>]

hello all:

You've been very helpful in the past, so let me say thank you to start.

Im currently using SA 3.1.0 on Linux with procmail.

I have a problem that is pretty much exactly described in this bug report:
http://issues.apache.org/SpamAssassin/show_bug.cgi?id=4410

After a period of heavy spam, some of the spamd children don't die off.  It
makes for a huge load on a couple children and the mailq fills up fast.
Restarting spamd fixes the problem.

After reading through the bug report, it seems it was fixed in 3.1.0 and I
even took a look at the /Mail/SpamAssassin/SpamdForkScaling.pm file to make
sure the fix was in there, and it is.  Why is this still occuring?  Is there
an additional fix?

Thanks again

That just creates the RPM files in /usr/src/redhat/RPMS. Did you install
them?

Ok, fair enough...i downloaded and ran

rpmbuild -tb Mail-SpamAssassin-3.1.1.tar.gz

As descibed on the site.  I don't see any changes in the version number, is
there more I have to do ?

I'd first try out 3.1.1 or the current 3.1.2 from SVN.  There have been 
some more fixes that may affect what you are seeing since the 3.1.0 release.

If you still experience problems after upgrading, I'd file a bug with 
some actual specifics from your logs, etc.
