Howdy,
I have had FreeBSD on my box updated to 5.3 and have an issue with spam assassin.
It works fine, but sometimes I find that the server is maxed out, running 'top' shows me this:
Watch the memory usage:
ps -aux:
A few minutes later:
Usually, when an email comes in, watching 'top' shows a task 'perl' show up, max the box out for around 5-10 seconds, then disappears.
But every hour or so, the task just sits there, and goes nowhere. It maxes the box out, until either I kill it, or it eventually goes by itself, after around 30 minutes.
The person who upgraded the O/S on the box says that the port installs an old version of SA, 2.X when the latest version 3.X.
However, my guess is that everybody else is running the same port, and nobody else is experiencing this issue??
Can anybody assist? I have aproached the person who updated the box but as they just installed the DA ports - they claim its a DA related issue.
