TMP Files
Since the upgrade this morning, many SA temp files aren't being cleaned up. Is
anyone else seeing this?

Bug #5444 has been opened regarding this matter. Since opening the bug, I
completely removed my SA install and started from scratch, including updating
all local Perl modules, to no avail. For now, I've set up a cron job to remove
old files, but it's got me concerned where if that script fails, I'll run out of
tmp space.

fwiw, it sounds like the new "put non-text parts in a temp file" code.
my version had those files removed when they were created, but I think
I saw a mail float by recently about that bit getting changed before
the release.

Is there a temp file left for every message processed, a lot of
messages, or only a few?
Are all of your messages being successfully scanned?

No, neither MIMEDefang nor Sendmail are logging anything out of the ordinary
while this is happening.

Is MIMEDefang timing out the SA processes and killing them off before
they have a chance to finish (check your maillog)?

So far I've disabled all non-stock SA rules and plugins. SA is creating its
normal .spamassassinXXXXXXXXXXXtmp files in /tmp but is not always removing
them. The files that remain only ever contain garbage text, like what's seen as
a mail attachment in a plain text file. Without usable text from these files,
I'm having a difficult time tying them to any specific message in my logs.
I'm running SA 3.2.0 with Sendmail 8.14.1 and calling SA from MIMEDefang 2.62.
All packages were compiled from source and the only package changed was the
upgrade to SA 3.2.0.

Can you be more specific?
