Bart is correct that the SA processing occurs before sendmail log entry. Lately, I have had problems with the latest spamass-milter. Occasionally, something is forking off another spamass-milter and the original one is in some tight loop eating processor time. I am not sure if it is the newer spamass-milter or the fact that I also added the dkim-milter into the mix. FYI: I sent to the original questioner a crude C program to monitor his current loadaverage. This monitor will save the output of the command "ps -aux" to a timestamped temporary file when the current loadaverage exceeds a defined amount (15.0). --Mark Tinguely _______________________________________________ [email protected] mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to "[EMAIL PROTECTED]"
