timeouts and sigpipe

[Chris Yuzik]

Hi everyone.

Last night my system let some spam through, again with spamassassin
timeouts. I've checked through the maillog and see a few things that
seem a bit unusual.

Firstly, I see a SIGPIPE message in the log quite regularly. Not sure
what has caused this to start.
Jan 17 02:47:41 ns1 MailScanner[6138]: New Batch: Found 4 messages waiting
Jan 17 02:47:41 ns1 MailScanner[6138]: SIGPIPE received - trying new log
socket
Jan 17 02:47:41 ns1 MailScanner[6138]: New Batch: Found 4 messages waiting
Jan 17 02:47:41 ns1 MailScanner[6138]: New Batch: Scanning 1 messages,
3305 bytes

I also see that MailScanner had some trouble with ORDB last night:
Jan 17 02:48:14 ns1 MailScanner[30540]: RBL Check ORDB-RBL timed out and
was killed, consecutive failure 1 of 7

And, of course, spamassassin was having trouble also:
Jan 17 02:49:16 ns1 MailScanner[30540]: SpamAssassin timed out and was
killed, consecutive failure 1 of 20

Any help or suggestions would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks,
Chris
