RBL test are done in parallel, and they are initiated early so SA can get on with local tests during the DNS lookup. I don't know if what you're asking for is possible, but it doesn't sound like a good idea.

Alex, I'm pretty sure that you are already using PSBL through my khop-bl channel, which adds PSBL, BRBL, Spam-eating Monkey (SEMBLACK), HostKarma/JunkEmailFilter, and, more recently, MSPIKE (as per a request from João) to pre-3.3.0 spamassassin versions. It supports 3.3.0+ and avoids re-defining rules that were incorporated. khop-bl directions: http://khopesh.com/Anti-spam#sa-update_channels

Hi, What would be involved with making the PSBL DNSBL work with v3.2.5? Alex, I'm pretty sure that you are already using PSBL through my khop-bl channel, which adds PSBL, BRBL, Spam-eating Monkey (SEMBLACK), HostKarma/JunkEmailFilter, and, more recently, MSPIKE (as per a request from João) to pre-3.3.0 spamassassin versions. Yes, indeed. Thanks very much for the follow-up. I've disabled it now in my local config. Thanks again, Alex

For example: # PSBL easy-on, easy-off blacklist: http://psbl.surriel.com header RCVD_IN_PSBL eval:check_rbl('psbl', 'psbl.surriel.com.') describe RCVD_IN_PSBL Received via a relay in PSBL tflags RCVD_IN_PSBL net However, you can't use the new DBL list from Spamhaus, as that *requires* SA 3.3.1: http://www.spamhaus.org/dbl/ http://www.spamhaus.org/faq/answers.lasso?section=Spamhaus%20DBL#287

The 3 other servers still running 3.3 average 1.38 All running Centos on exactly the same hardware. (I thought I sent a message on the same subject; looks like I forgot to send it from the right account.) I've seen something similar, however I'm seeing the difference from 3.2.5 to 3.3.x (both 3.3.0 and 3.3.1 show the same slowdown). Average scan times have jumped from just under a second to just under four seconds on the live mail stream, and about the same on a dev machine with a small set of test messages. Different hardware and OS release doesn't make much more than ~1% difference in scan times. SA is installed via script, an initial configuration is set via script, and a set of symlinks are used to manage which version is live. Another script updates all of the rules channels we use (and if anything, that should save a little CPU time because I dropped the SARE 90_2tld channel for 3.3.x). Supporting Perl modules are all packaged (either Debian stock, or local packages). -kgd

Yup, seems to be DNS related I guess. One message that took 5.6 seconds to scan now scans in under 0.5 seconds. Rick
