orphaned .tmp files in the submission folder

[Ron Smith <po...@pmbx.net>]

Hi,

I'm using spamc/spamd with CommuniGate Pro. When spamd puts the file  
in the submission folder it USUALLY gets a .sub extension applied  
within a minute or two. However I am seeing orphaned files that are  
both non-spam and spam that just get left as .tmp files. Many times  
these files have multiple .tmp extensions (up to 9 or 10 of them) as  
though spamd just coughed and started over.

Currently I'm examining these files and deleting the spam and using a  
drag and drop renaming utility to manually submit (add the .sub  
extensions) these files a couple of times a day.

Why is this happening and what settings changes will stop it? I've  
tried more spamd children and less spamd children. I've turned  
autowhitelisting off and on. I've checked all the mysql spamassassin  
database files and they are in working order.

Here's the Startup.sh script that CommuniGate pro runs with variations  
of the spamd command that I've tried:

#!/bin/sh
############################################################################
#SpamAssassin daemonstartup

spamd -d -x -q -u nobody -x -m 5 -r /var/Communigate/spamdprocessid
#spamd -d -x -q -u nobody -x -m 8 --ident-timeout=15  -r /var/ 
Communigate/spamd$
#spamd -d -x -Q -m 8 --ident-timeout=15  -r /var/Communigate/ 
spamdprocessid


My hardware/software setup is as follow:

Mac OS X 10.5.4 client
4 gb ram
spamd with up to 5 children
CommuniGate Pro 5.2.5
SpamAssassin 3.2.5
