• Bug#222783: Spamd resource consumption suggestion

    From Millis Miller@1:229/2 to All on Sun Aug 15 13:40:08 2004

    I too have had problems on a recent spamassassin installation, where it consumed all of the resources of the machine and I was unable to get
    into it (load shot up to well over 20).

    I'd suggest that merely changing the defaults on the configuration file
    would be sufficient to not cause so many people this problem at the
    start - if they then tweak the parameters, that woudl be their look-out
    and they'd be expecting it.

    I've altered my /etc/default/spamassassin to have:
    OPTIONS="-c -m 3 -a -H"
    (i.e. only three spamd at any one time)
    NICE="--nicelevel 15
    (i.e. enable the uncommented nice level)

    Not sure if you can use this to close this bug or not, but it would seem
    a more sensible default to have. (You could also change the first line
    to read "# /etc/default/spamassassin".)

    (All this for my spamassassin-2.63-1)

    BR,
    Millis

    FWIW, the 3.0.0 upstream uses a default of -m 5 if none is specified.
    So this may already be closeable...
