spamd creates too many child processes

ACSAndy · 03-16-2006, 03:53 PM

I have FC4 installed and when spamassassin launches it uses the command "/usr/bin/spamd -d -c -m5 -H". I don't want five child processes running though, where can I find this command to change it. Thanks in advance!

According to the docs at http://wiki.apache.org/spamassassin/FasterPerformance you can use the -m option when you start it up. Have you tried changing the value from 5 to something lower?

If you meant "where is spam assassin started from" - try the following to get the name of the startup script/s that contain spamd:

Code:

grep -l 'spamd' /etc/init.d/*

Hope that helps...
