You might want to turn debugging up and find out why razor is timing out instead of returning results (the default razor_timeout is 10).

Anyway you were onto it.. tracked down the following.. 0.000: Finished head tests (Delta: 0.000s) 0.000: Starting body tests 0.000: Razor2 -> Starting razor test (10 secs max) 10.000: Razor2 -> Finished razor test: not known spam (Delta: 10.000s) 10.000: Finished body tests (Delta: 10.000s) Time to investigate that. cheers, ajt. ___ [EMAIL PROTECTED] mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to "[EMAIL PROTECTED]"

Could be mx timeouts, DNS timeouts, rbl timeouts, dcc/razor/pyzor timeouts... In your global SpamAssassin config, try setting a value for timelog_path - this will cause spamd to log what it's doing, and where it spent most time doing it. Check perldoc Mail::SpamAssassin::Conf. You might also try turning on debugging (modify /usr/local/etc/rc.d/spamd.sh so that spamd is called with the `-D' option, then restart spamd). You will then get lots of debugging in /var/log/mail.

spamassassin slow to process messages
I'm looking for some suggestions as to why my spamassassin is so slow! Installed from ports. Details: p5-Mail-SpamAssassin-2.55 5.0-RELEASE-p7 I'm running spamd and using spamc/procmail to pass the messages to spamd. I was reading the following, http://spamassassin.rediris.es/dist/spamd/README.spamd and it was talking with figures like: "Well, on my 400MHz K6-2 mail server, spamassassin process a 11689 byte message in about 3.36 seconds, spamc/spamd processes the same message in about 0.86 seconds, or about 4 times faster." I've got a CPU: Pentium III/Pentium III Xeon/Celeron (930.32-MHz 686-class CPU) and I'm seeing performance like, Jul 8 08:25:11 athomson spamd[52016]: clean message (0.4/5.0) for ajt:1001 in 10.2 seconds, 2132 bytes. Jul 8 08:25:27 athomson spamd[52031]: clean message (0.4/5.0) for ajt:1001 in 10.2 seconds, 2092 bytes.
