    I had just one user who was using 100% CPU when I did a top -c from root for spamd.

    Here is softlayers solution:

    Now we have increased the spamd child process. Earlier it was only 2 and the recommended value was 15 - 20. This shall have a effect in it.

    Also exim panic log is showing a socket time out error which also was quoted as a reason for this since an internal connection originating from the server gets a socket time out due to firewall.


    So as a recommended solution, we have now disabled csf and the issue seems to be resolved.

    Does this mean I cannot use chirpy's firewall on any of my servers?

    Thank you

    You might want to turn it back on and make sure you have logging enabled for the firewall and take a closer look on your own.

    This guys been drinkin' on the job. :rolleyes:

    I turned it on immediately when I went into shock knowing I had no firewall enabled.

    I will do some more research. Thank you

    Their solution to a firewall problem was to disable the firewall?? Wow...

    Is port 53 open so that the server can do DNS checks?

    salvatore333,

    Try this:

    cd /home/USER/.spam*

    then do this:

    rm -fr *

    It's going to clear out all spamassassin settings for the user, including white/black lists and bayesian records.

    We had this issue with one of our user’s and we cleared out the spamassassin settings and it solved the high load issue.
