SpamAssassin + Exim hangs server

[hddweb]

I just enabled spamassassin for exim and now the system hangs every few minutes and doing a ps -A shows a lot of exim <defunct>. I tried to update using spam.sh, same problem lingers. I basically can't get into SSH or access any websites on the server until exim proccessed die down.

Running the following command to start spamd results in this:
# /usr/bin/spamd -d -c -m 5
[27961] info: config: failed to parse line, skipping, in "/etc/mail/spamassassin/local.cf": transport_filter = /usr/bin/spamc -u ${lookup{$domain}lsearch*{/etc/virtual/domainowners}{$value}}

Any clues to the cause or the solution?

Which file is the line

transport_filter = /usr/bin/spamc -u ${lookup{$domain}lsearch*{/etc/virtual/domainowners}{$value}}

in

/etc/exim.conf or /etc/mail/spamassassin/local.cf

It should not be in /etc/mail/spamassassin/local.cf

Follow this guide to enable spamassassin properly

Ok I removed that line, (heh read instructions wrong) and it still hangs every few minutes. I thought it might have been cron that was slowing it down, but stopping that process, same thing happens

Have you checked your /var/log/exim/mainlog and /var/log/exim/paniclog for relevant entries?
