As a follow-up to the discussion regarding the fact that sendmail and spamassassin perform a lot of DNS lookups, one thing we do here to speed up SA a bit is to tell it to limit the time it waits for a response from a spam block list lookup. We place the following in our local.cf file in SA's rules directory:
# limit RBL checking to max. 5 secs instead of default of 30 rbl_timeout 5 How much this improves things, I don't know. It was suggested on the SA mailing list a while ago. Is there a similar timeout value for sendmail lookups? - Gary _______________________________________________ NOTE: If there is a disclaimer or other legal boilerplate in the above message, it is NULL AND VOID.
