After writing the SpamAssassin HOWTO for having virtual config files, I noticed on my RHEL system, I would end up with litterally hundreds of spamd processes. At this point, email wasn't being scanned.

I first made a script that would SIGHUP spamd and bring the number back down to one or two processes.

Further investigation showed that my RH9 box never had more than one spamd process. I finally determine this must be due to using a threaded PERL (thanks RH, wtg you smart guys!)

Compile your own version of PERL *WITHOUT* threads and it works beautifully. Not a single problem in over a week.
