Hi Chris,

Failing machine output Macbook Pro 13 inch 2010
machdep.cpu.features: FPU VME DE PSE TSC MSR PAE MCE CX8 APIC SEP MTRR PGE MCA CMOV PAT PSE36 CLFSH DS ACPI MMX FXSR SSE SSE2 SS HTT TM PBE SSE3 DTES64 MON DSCPL VMX SMX EST TM2 SSSE3 CX16 TPR PDCM SSE4.1 XSAVE

Working machine output Macbook Pro 15 inch 2010
machdep.cpu.features: FPU VME DE PSE TSC MSR PAE MCE CX8 APIC SEP MTRR PGE MCA CMOV PAT PSE36 CLFSH DS ACPI MMX FXSR SSE SSE2 SS HTT TM PBE SSE3 PCLMULQDQ DTES64 MON DSCPL VMX SMX EST TM2 SSSE3 CX16 TPR PDCM SSE4.1 SSE4.2 POPCNT AES PCID

I can not see any reference to AVX on either CPU. I downloaded the rspamd tar ball from macports, is there documentation on how to make changes and how to disable certain feature for the build?

I use the 13 inch MacBook mainly as aptest machine so it is not to important if it doesn’t work as long as I have a working one.

Thanks and Regards,
Horst
