OK, based on another thread on the Declude Junkmail list, I've taken a look at the Declude debug logs for a couple of messages. I am seeing this:

These messages are always in this order (meaning the "program started" line is always right before the "program reports" line). This means (if I understand Declude's logging correctly) that Declude started sniffer, then sat back and waited almost a full minute for each email. I am running persistent sniffer (assuming I set it up correctly). Where can I look to find out why it is taking so long to scan? This E-Mail came from the Message Sniffer mailing list.
