Command

/usr/sbin/spampd -d --setsid --pid=/var/run/spampd/spampd.pid --tagall --port=10025 --host=127.0.0.1 --relayport=10026 --relayhost=127.0.0.1 --children=3 --logsock=unix --maxsize=2000 --user=spampd --group=spampd

I'm trying to contain miab in docker and spampd would keep restarting, so I dug into it and found the command.
The command exits with 1 when I echo $?, but I can't seem to identify the issue from the logs.

The closest I can pick out is pyzor seems to exit with 1.

Would be most grateful if someone can point it out to me. Thank you.

Same problem faced by me too. I am also running inside docker

[mpaperno]

I don't really have any way to troubleshoot this. And I don't see anything amiss in that log besides strange pyzor exit 1 but then seems to report that it's OK. 🤷🏼

Does it still crash if Pyzor is disabled?

Does someone have a Docker container I can try it in?

[rsmoorthy]

Thanks for responding. Right now, I have a way to move forward - where it does not crash -- when I start it from command line, instead of let it starting it via systemd.

When started via systemd, it shows:

Oct 31 19:33:03 <host> systemd[1]: Starting Spam Proxy Daemon...
Oct 31 19:33:03 <host> systemd[1]: Started Spam Proxy Daemon.

Oct 31 19:33:09 <host> systemd[1]: spampd.service: Consumed 2.042s CPU time.

You can see it is crashing. after 2s

But if you run this from command line like:

# export SPAMPD_ARGS="--pid=/var/run/spampd/spampd.pid --tagall --port=10025 --host=127.0.0.1 --relayport=10026 --relayhost=127.0.0.1 --children=3 --logsock=unix --maxsize=2000 --user=spampd --group=spampd"
# /usr/sbin/spampd --setsid $SPAMPD_ARGS

this starts fine.

Right now, I haven't spent more time. But I will do it this weekend and share more details.

[mpaperno]

Thanks for the added details.

Which SpamPD version are you running? Seems like older than current release (from the logs)? If so, I recommend trying 2.61 which has bug fixes and lots of logging improvements which may help here. It should be a drop-in replacement for the current script.

Please do update, when you have time, on how it works out or what new you can learn, thanks!
