Re: current state of spamass-milter

[Chris Crowley]

I remember that problem.  The outward appearance would be that sendmail 
would hang when you connected to it.  But, inspecting the problem showed 
the milter had failed.

In my experience ( 3 nodes, 75k messages / day on each ) the milter has 
been very stable.  I am running the 0.2 branch.

I do have a script which checks every few minutes for the existence of 
the socket to make sure that the milter is actually running.  I also 
check sendmail response time using a simple netcat ( nc ) script, and 
take the node out of the cluster and restart everything in case of problems.
