Kevin, Initially I did not have a dns_available entry. Then, when I found out the DNS was timing out at 15 seconds, all my spamassassin scans were taking 20+ seconds. So I added a dns_available no entry. This made my scans go down to less than a second, but obviously not using any outside tests. HOWEVER, for testing purposes I have been commenting that out so it acts like a default config (and then restarting SA). I have tried both no entry and dns_available yes... neither with any success. I think SA uses Net::DNS when it checks all the blacklists. We've proved NS lookup works so there is no problem there, so I think the problem is something with Net::DNS. Any other tips, I would sure appreciate it! - Austin
