Whoops... that should have been AVAFTERJM ON
to run Virus tests after JunkMail tests, so only messages that pass JM would be tested for viruses. F-Prot is one of the fastest scanners, but it's still slower than most Junkmail tests. One last note: You should check to see that you don't have any timeouts in the DNS tests configured in Declude. If you have DNSBL and RHSBL tests against lists that no longer exist or have been renamed, then you're wasting cycles waiting on a result that will timeout. Running a report or inspecting the log files to see your typical processing time for a single message would be a good idea. You should be in the fraction-of-a-second range per message.
