--lint coes out fine. -D spewes way too much. what am I looking for?

the only things resembling errors are:
dbg: metadata: failed to load 'IP::Country::Fast', skipping
(lots of merged duplicate rules during initial parse)

seems OK to me.

of course I don't, I turned off all non-local tests as they slowed down
the checks to a halt. the MTA runs "rblsmtpd" though, and does a check
before qmail-smtpd is even run.

yes, and the RBL stage is not the heavy bit, it's the spamd process
which is way after it down the chain.

I went over it in the past, I'll go check again if any new advice came
up.

What I really think I'll be forced to do is buy spam filtering services
from a third party and free my CPU for web. I'll start looking.
