Stability progress?

[Nate Schindler]

The "dying under heavy load" problem became a lot worse in my installation 
after upgrading to 0.3.0.  I was wondering if any changes have been planned to 
help correct this, or if the cause is even known yet?

One of my inside users sends a broadcast e-mail to about 1000 people every 
couple of weeks, but this could just as easily happen from the outside.
What I end up with are a whole bunch of hung spamc processes, and spam passes 
through until I kill everything off and bring it all back up again.

If it helps, I'm running:
RedHat 7.2
kernel 2.4.20-28.7
Sendmail 8.13.3
SpamAssassin 3.0.2 (with standard plugins installed and enabled)
spamass-milter 0.3.0
clamav-milter 0.83

If there's any debugging information you'd like to to gather, I'd be happy to 
do so.
I'd really rather not switch milters.  Spamass-milter is awesome with this one 
small exception, if it's even spamass-milter's fault.
But my users pretty much freak out when the spam filter dies for a few hours 
because they're not used to getting spam anymore.


Thanks,

Nate
