-max-child setting not obeyed?
Hi,
I have set my --max-child to 30 but I look at my logs and it appears
that this is not obeyed.
Here is my spamd options:
SPAMDOPTIONS="-d -m 30 -H"
Here is what I see in the logs:

It appears I hit 5 child processes as shown "child states: BBBBB "but
it doesn't want to go higher for some reason. Why is it stopping at
5 child processes when in spamd I specify 30.
Thank you,
Frank

You are lucky, despite a setting of 5, I have never seen more than 3. I tried
15 once, no effect.

Does whatever you start spamd with actually use those options? Are you
sure (check the command line of the running spamd using top, etc)?

I would be extremely surprised to find that spamd is actually being
started with an "-m 30" option (unless an "-m 5" option follows it).

Also, try setting max-spare to something above the max children setting.
My settings are:
SPAMDOPTIONS="-d -c --max-children=20 -H --min-children=6 --max-spare=8"

Re: -max-child setting not obeyed?
Posted by fchan <fc...@molsci.org>.
Hi,
Thank you Steve for this. I found that /etc/sysconfig/spamassassin
had the other SPAMOPTIONS so I updated my -m 20 there and it appears
to take. Here is my current ps auwxf|grep spam:
root 27678 0.9 2.0 43672 39268 ? Ss 16:08 0:03
/usr/bin/spamd -x -u spamd -m 20 -H /home/spamd -d -r /var/run/spamd.p
id
spamd 27709 5.4 2.2 48564 44000 ? S 16:08 0:16 \_
spamd child
spamd 27710 1.1 2.1 45416 40852 ? S 16:08 0:03 \_
spamd child
Before -m 20 or any other settings will not appear after spamd.
I see these "server reached --max-children setting, consider raising
it" during spam attacks.
Thank you,
Frank
