Thanks a lot your reply.

I am using SME as SMTP relay for multiple domains and servers.  I am so happy that SME can handle 15k+ email per day with antispam and antivirus features enabled.   .
  But I face some trouble with spamd which is some time utilizing 90% of the CPU and top command shows there is 1 zombie process. I am no sure what cause of process hanging. I am close to kick out exchange server and replace with SME if I can resolved the spamd issue.

I have seen this very occasionally on some of the servers I admin & all you need to do is:

# service spamassassin restart

You will often get messages that a bunch of child pid's cannot be killed, but they can be safely ignored so long as the stop & start get an OK in the end.

That is what I am doing. The server is working for 5 days without problem.
Is there any way to troubleshoot spamd.
