I'm running the courier-mta and courier-maildrop 0.47-4 packages in
debian, and using the embedded .mailfilters/smtpfilter to call
spamassin to decide whether to accept the message or bounce it right
away.

The problem I'm having is that about once a day or so, I get one message
that gets the following error:

Sep 28 23:26:39 kalmia courieresmtpd:
error,relay=::ffff:<anonymized>,ident=[DvbSV8ecioGCg1oCZ0WxyX/rX7b/oKJ/],from=<[EMAIL
 PROTECTED]>:
558450 maildrop: Timeout quota exceeded.

Now, most of these in the last month of so look to have been spam anyway
from the header, but I have had a few times where someone reported that
they tried to send me a legitimate message and it bounced.

I have spamassasin set up to run up to 20 spamd's, and 
MAXDAEMONS=10 in /etc/courier/esmtpd

I think that part of the problem, is that depending on the message, It
can wind up taking two passes through spamassin. First, in the
smtpfilter to decide whether to accept it at all, and a second time in
my regular .mailfilter to add the score information on.

Is there any better way to have per-user configs on what spam level to
reject right away? Are there courierperlfilters that work better? Or do
I need to either turn up the max number of spamd's, or increase the
timeout?
