[Bug 4049] New: RFE: stop spam detection at maximum load average

           Summary: RFE: stop spam detection at maximum load average
           Product: Spamassassin
           Version: 3.0.1
          Platform: Other
        OS/Version: other
            Status: NEW
          Severity: normal
          Priority: P5
         Component: spamc/spamd
        AssignedTo: dev@spamassassin.apache.org
        ReportedBy: martin.t.kutschker@blackbox.net


If the the system load gets very high (for whatever reasons) I (as as system
administrator) may want to decide that I rather get spam mails than to loose my
system. So a way to tell spamd a maximum value for the load average would be
nice. Could be a command line switch or an entry in the config files.

Above the maximum load spamd should either report the failure or silently choose
not do any scanning and report a score of 0.0. Perhaps this alternatives can be
some configuration options as well.

Created an attachment (id=2602)
 --> (http://bugzilla.spamassassin.org/attachment.cgi?id=2602&action=view)
patch against 3.0

I've been running this for about a day now... works pretty nice.  I should have
wrote it sooner.

Adds --max-load-average option to spamd.  Once the set load average threshold
is exceeded spamd (almost) immediately closes the connection on the spamc
client, causing spamc to try another spamd server (if the spamc -d flag is
used) or return the unscanned message.	The child's connection counter is not
incremented so that killing & respawning the child doesn't add to the system's
load.

If there's interest, I'll edit the patch to work against trunk too.

Oops... -d doesn't fall back to the next host listed, it just returns the
message unscanned.
