• "Report Spam" Agent very slow

    By Anne Wiesmann 2 decades ago

    Hello,



    marking a document as spam takes lots of time (about 10 seconds); if i mark about 20 documents it seems to be even slower. Anyone got an idea what i can do about that?



    Thanks for your ideas

    • Process creation time

      The main reason those agents are slow is that for every memo you report, the mail server has to start a new Perl interpreter process and then that has to load the SpamAssassin script. In order to really fix the problem we need to add support for spamc/ spamd: <http://www.openntf.org/projects/pmt.nsf/894fe3a057d40c2885256bae003d7dd6/e971467725bb70208625710f000a90dd!OpenDocument>. I probably won't have time to work on that for quite a while, but maybe you or someone else can step up and do the necessary development work?

        Hello Nick,



        i see the Problem. So the idea is to have a local agent run the spamc and only having a spamd running on the server?



        If so, is it correct that the main issue is to call spamc from Lotus Script?



        I might have some time to work on this…maybe you want to contact me by eMail?



        Greetz,

        • Running spamd in Windows

          By Nick Radov 2 decades ago

          It should be fairly easy to call spamc from the LotusScript agent; I already have the basic procedures in there for calling out to external processes. The real problem is with getting spamd to run at all under Windows. Apparently it was designed to work with the Unix API. Here are some links for more information: <http://wiki.apache.org/spamassassin/SpamdOnWindows> and <http://www.openhandhome.com/howtosa310.html#partxii>. I haven't had a chance to try those solutions yet, but if you can get it working please let me know. You can reach me by e-mail at nradov@axolotl.com.
