           Summary: Make spamd and (possibly) mass-check use Net::Server
           Product: Spamassassin
           Version: SVN Trunk (Latest Devel Version)
          Platform: Other
        OS/Version: other
            Status: NEW
          Severity: normal
          Priority: P5
         Component: spamc/spamd
        AssignedTo: felicity@kluge.net
        ReportedBy: felicity@kluge.net
                CC: spamassassin-dev@incubator.apache.org


spamd currently does a "fork per incoming message" which is rather inefficient.  I'd rather us do a 
"Prefork" method where we fork off -m children (or do a min/max thing) and pass out incoming 
messages to free children.

Instead of reinventing the wheel, Net::Server already can do this, and would likely not be that hard to 
integrate into the code.  Since we'd be calling Net::Server and not copying in their code, there's no 
license issue.

This was discussed a little bit already on the spamassassin-dev list, fyi.
