Thanks for the response. What would you recommend for the max_children processes in spamassassin for our system?

You should see some entries for spamd with the amount of time that it took to run the spamd for each email. If it's in the 60 second range under load then it might be a DNS issue. It will also give you some additional information as well. Just don't leave -D on unless you have lots of space for logging. Hope that helps.

We are running rules per site, and we are only doing one domain, so the rules are just global. Right now, razor, dcc etc are disabled, however we are using RBL checks, but DNS seems to be responding quickly enough that I don't think this is slowing things down. Thanks, Richard
