SpamAssassin on my Qmailtoaster error
"server reached --max-children setting, consider raising it"

try googling and it seems default children process are 5
some says check your free memory (free )
and what memory is used for each spamd child process (ps or top )
multiply it to get the number spamd children.

but some also said why dont you increase 1 first and see if the error came up again
if it came up again add another one. it becase spamd use a lot of memory to scan 1 messages (in my system, it used about 85MB)

so I added option -m 6 on my /var/qmail/supervise/spamd/run

#!/bin/sh
exec /usr/bin/spamd -A 10.10.64. -m 6 -x -u vpopmail -s stderr 2>&1
