Run only one spam filter process
Last modified: 2006-09-12 11:36:39 UTC
Evo should run a per-user spam filter daemon and reuse that to filter mail, instead of running tens of spamd processes that each apparently eat 30MB of non-shared memory and don't go away soon...
For reference, Frederic Crozat is telling me that I should run spamd as a system daemon, this should make sure you won't have too much spamd process on your system. (http://mces.blogspot.com/2006/09/evolution-4.html#comments)
Shouldn't the default rather be either a system-wide spamd (and making sure distributions get it right), or using the bogofilter plugin?
well, evolution is trying to use system spamd if it is already launched and will only start user spamd if system daemon is not running (and will fallback to spamassassin directly if spamd isn't available).
I'm not sure I see why it should be a system service. Do we also need a system service for sorting mail, and one for copying files, and what? :)
wow this is a good bug report evo should just do the right thing most evo installs are via distros (my guess) it should just work between the evo tarballs and the distro packagers they can work it out its not rocket science!
sounds like a duplicate of bug 268852, heh?
