Bill, The problem is that Botnet uses Net::DNS::Resolver's default retry and timeout values, which are way too high.
Spamassassin's DnsResolver.pm uses these values: udp_timeout:3 tcp_timeout:3 retrans:0 retry:1 try export RES_OPTIONS="udp_timeout:3 tcp_timeout:3 retrans:0 retry:1" before invoking spamassassin and see what happens. The proper solution would be to fix Botnet.pm to use sensible values for these parameters instead of the defaults.

Mark, thanks for the patches. However, even with both Dns.pm patches applied, unless I set "rbl_timeout" to a high enough time interval, SA still misses the URIBL test results in the sample messages I posted in bugzilla 5506. For example, if I set "rbl_timeout 15", I get no URIBL hit results. However, if I set "rbl_timeout 60", I do get URIBL hit results. This is because the 60 interval is long enough for Botnet's (in this case) RDNS test to timeout before the "rbl_timeout" interval. Bill
