<html><body bgcolor="#FFFFFF"><div>When spamassassin times out, it usually is because of a DNS issue. Restarting works in your case probably because people trying to connect to your server "back off" when you restart it because to them it looks like your server died. They take pity and don't bother it for a while. When they see it back online, the load and backlog rises. <br><br>Sent from my iPhone</div><div><br>On Sep 10, 2008, at 9:05 AM, "Swati Meghanand" <<a href="mailto:swati.meghanand@gmail.com">swati.meghanand@gmail.com</a>> wrote:<br><br></div><div></div><blockquote type="cite"><div><div dir="ltr"><p>hi,</p><p>I am not running any name server on the same machine, actually I am having a fail-over cluster of 3 machine having same configuration/setting I facing this prob in 2 machines the another thts 3rd is running smoothly...<br>

It's actually quite clearly indicating the opposite. You are not reading the logs right. If spamassassin is timing out, you need to take care of that. What caching nameserver are you running on that box?<br>

Hi,<br>
<br>
I'm using mailscanner on a busy mail gateways from serveral months, which was working fine so far.From last few days I noticed incresed no of spam mails as well log Filtering queues (ofcourse slow processing of mailscanner).In log file of mailscanner I found following lines,<br>
<br>
Sep 10 04:47:29 localhost MailScanner[11027]: Virus and Content Scanning: Starting<br>
Sep 10 04:47:37 localhost MailScanner[8400]: SpamAssassin timed out and was killed, failure 8 of 20<br>
Sep 10 04:47:37 localhost MailScanner[8680]: SpamAssassin timed out and was killed, failure 14 of 20<br>
Sep 10 04:47:38 localhost MailScanner[8680]: Message 1KdL6x-0005q5-L3 from xx.xx.xx.xx (<a href="mailto:xxx@xxx.x">xxx@xxx.x</a>) to xxx.xx is not spam, SpamAssassin (not cached, timed out)<br>
Sep 10 04:47:38 localhost MailScanner[8400]: Message 1KdLDG-0006se-Ox from xx.xx.xx.xx (<a href="mailto:xxx@xx.xxx">xxx@xx.xxx</a>) to xxx.xx is not spam, SpamAssassin (not cached, timed out)<br>
<br>
it clealy indicates mailscanner is not (able to) scanning messages.<br>
<br>
Any idea about this issue.<br>
<br>
Thanks in advance :-)<br>
<br>
Regards<br>
<br>
