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? :D

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.
