Subject:   SpamAssassin (spamd) eating a lot of CPU....
Message-ID:  <45B6DA5A.9080704@forrie.com>

Since a recent update of Spamassassin to:

PORTVERSION=    3.1.7
PORTREVISION=   3

I've noticed that each email that gets scanned causes the process to eat 
up 80+% of the CPU time, and it's slow...

I'm not really sure what changed.

Likewise, when I start it up for the first time, I see:

[ top output ]
49106 root        1 106    0   290M   267M RUN    0   0:17 *98.52%* 
perl5.8.8

I have a Dell system here, and it cranks up the fan every time a message 
comes in now, with the recent spamd.

Curious if anyone else has had these issues, etc.

The system is not otherwise active, so I'm certain it's not a resource 
issue (or constraint thereof).


Thanks.
