spamd hanging machine
Hello,
I've noticed a server of mine becoming unresponsive over the network,
forcing me to reset the power to it on several occasions per week for
the last 3 weeks. A couple of times I was unable to get to a computer
to restart it quickly, and I found these entries in /var/log/maillog.
Jan 21 16:51:35 w2 spamd[26821]: Use of uninitialized value in
concatenation (.) or string at /usr/lib/perl5/ve
ndor_perl/5.8.8/Mail/SpamAssassin/SpamdForkScaling.pm line 269.
Jan 21 16:51:35 w2 spamd[26821]: prefork: select returned error on
server filehandle:
Jan 21 20:49:47 w2 dovecot: Dovecot v1.0.rc17 starting up
Jan 24 17:01:52 w2 spamd[2021]: Use of uninitialized value in
concatenation (.) or string at /usr/lib/perl5/ven
dor_perl/5.8.8/Mail/SpamAssassin/SpamdForkScaling.pm line 269.
Jan 24 17:01:52 w2 spamd[2021]: prefork: select returned error on

It looks to me like spamd was the last process before both crashes,
there are no other syslog entries after the prefork messages until
system restart. The system is running Fedora Core 5 with current
updates. I just recompiled the DB_File and BerkleyDB perl modules
tonight, hoping that might resolve the issue. Here's some more info
that might be of help:

Posted by sk8conz <te...@darkstar.co.nz>.
I had the exact same problem. There is something very similar in Bugzilla at
Spamassassin.org.
The fix that worked for them and me is to use spamd with the --round-robin
option.
Hope this helps
