-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA1 I also run spamassassin (daemon mode) on my desktop system (much better hardware: Athlon XP2700+, 512 MB Ram vs Celery 366 and 256 MB Ram in my laptop, for instance) and even though my desktop is stuck with a dialup it still processes emails in one second or less - using bayes and the same rules. My laptop uses an ethernet connection and takes no less than 20 seconds per message. The main difference between the systems with regards to spamassassin is that the laptop has had a lot more sa-learn data applied. I use the laptop to acquire the vast bulk of my emails so it has had more opportunity to learn spam.
As your reply did help out a bit with my understanding of the checks, I altered my rbl check to 5 instead of 10. I would consider no more than about 2 or 3 seconds per messages the max, given what it does to the usability of kmail. In any case, concomittent to sending the first message, I altered my filter list so that list mails are before spam analysis (using kmail). The expert list is good about not receiving spam in it but other lists I am a member of get spam posted fairly regularly so I have been passing all messages through spamd to hit them. The main problem with the long processing times is that kmail is entirely unusable while the check is ongoing. You cannot even write an email because the entire app is is limbo while the spam analysis (per message) goes on. If it didn't hang kmail for the length of time the spam check was ongoing I wouldn't mind as much as I could read emails that made it through and send/queue messages for sending but as it is... praedor On Monday 06 October 2003 10:42 am, Bryan Phinney wrote: > On Monday 06 October 2003 10:41 am, Praedor Atrebates wrote: > > I have fiddled some with my spamassassin but it is still just too slow. > > I am running it in daemon mode (spamd and spamc) with bayes filtering on. > > Spamassassin email analysis on my laptop is too slow to live with (about > > 20 seconds per message).
