I was running ISPConfig 2.1.1 on Suse 10.0 64 bit. Everything was fine: Emails were scanned, Spam was discarded... Then I did an update to ISPConfig 2.1.2 and now, everytime a mail arrives the system, the spamassassin-process eats all the memory (2GB) and the swap until the kernel kills the process. The server is so laggy in these times that I cannot interfere. Where can I search for an error? How is this spamassassin-script started? I did the perfect install for suse with the changes for 64 bit in the compile-file and the changes for the suse-courier-start-scripts from this forum.
You can try this (from the ISPConfig installation manual): SpamAssassin The ISPConfig comes with SpamAssassin, but without the Perl modules needed by SpamAssassin. Run the following command after the installation of the ISPConfig: /home/admispconfig/ispconfig/tools/spamassassin/usr/bin/spamassassin If errors appear you have to install some Perl modules. Code: perl -MCPAN -e shell install HTML::Parser install DB_File install Net::DNS (when prompted to enable tests, choose "no") install Digest::SHA1 To leave the Perl shell type q If /home/admispconfig/ispconfig/tools/spamassassin/usr/bin/spamassassin does not return any error everything is fine. You can then leave SpamAssassin by typing " CTRL + c".
Thanks for the quick reply! /home/admispconfig/ispconfig/tools/spamassassin/usr/bin/spamassassin didn't show any message at all. The perl-modules are all up to date. There was a patch from SuSE for Courier (autoinstalled by you). Could it have to do with that?
Thats ok. And the process does not aet up your memory? Ok. No, courier is not involved with mailscanning. Spamassassin is invoked by a procmail recipe.
Thats ok. And the process does not aet up your memory? No, that process is ok. The process which has to be killed is for example (from ps aux): 10002 9784 77.8 65.9 1385860 1347520 ?

/srv/www/web1/user/web1_missy/.spamassassin/auto-whitelist.lock did exist. I removed it. I also removed all .spamassassin directorys and did several server reboots. Nothing helped. I now renamed /home/admispconfig/ispconfig/tools/spamassassin/usr/bin/spamassassin so the server doesn't lag all the time. We can receive mails now, but they are not scanned (just with TrashScan). But that's a pity, because we like this feature very much. Should I try to downgrade to 2.1.1 ? Will I loss data if I do so? Or isn't this an ISPConfig-problem?
I guess this is not an ISPConfig problem. If I remember correctly, Spamassassin was not upgraded between 2.1.1 and 2.1.2.
whow, I got it It was a double installation of Berkely DB (DB_File): I installed db42 (and db42_devel) for compiling one thing and then db_devel for ISPConfig. It was good for three weeks but after reboot it went wrong. Now I uninstalled db42 and spamassassin works! Thank you for your help and sorry, it has nothing to do with 2.1.2; my fault. 2.1.2 works fine now!
