Hey Eric, Thanks for the info, while browsing through the web I cam across that information. It is indeed turned on. I didn't turn it off since other mails are scanned just fine in less than 2 seconds. This one mail though with a size of 200kb and mixed regular text and html code takes over 60 seconds. I assume it's something that Spamassassin doesn't like about it ... the final score is only 2.0 though - way below the required default 5.0.
Interesting .. I will keep an eye on it but it hasn't happened for months before this one.
