One users spamd process causing huge loads

[housefire]

So ive got a couple instances of spamd that keep coming up for the same user (usually 3 at a time) that are causing HUGE load on the server.

Any idea what might cause this?

eh.. Spam?

Maybe check the maillogs if there are large amount of spam being send for that account.

Deleting everything, except user_prefs in /home/username/.spamassassin/ usually solves this problem for me.

This bug is REALLY annoying, upgrading spamassassin to 3.2.4 like suggested by others does
not fix the problem - and spending time deleting files like that is not how I'd like to spend my
day. Really wish there was a more permanent solution.

You could setup a cron job to delete the files every few days or so.
