Quoting "Gary W. Smith" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>:
James, Timeout is 600 seconds. If spamd doesn't have respond in that amount of time them there is something else is wrong. I suppose that if all of the spamd threads are clogged then you might find a waiting list but 600 seconds is a lifetime.
That is the point :-) If spamd crashes for some reason (I haven't seen this personally, but no program is perfect), can spamc "defer" the message back into postfix's queue?
Gary - What method do you use for invocating spamassassin? - James
