Strangely enough I have been looking at why SA has suddenly started to act up and I also seem to be having DNS timeout issues after years of faultless operation. I am running a local caching nameserver, but spamassassin -D just stops dead as follows:
[8808] dbg: logger: adding facilities: all [8808] dbg: logger: logging level is DBG [8808] dbg: generic: SpamAssassin version 3.2.1 [8808] dbg: config: score set 0 chosen. [8808] dbg: util: running in taint mode? yes [8808] dbg: util: taint mode: deleting unsafe environment variables, resetting PATH [8808] dbg: util: PATH included '/usr/kerberos/sbin', keeping [8808] dbg: util: PATH included '/usr/kerberos/bin', keeping [8808] dbg: util: PATH included '/usr/local/sbin', keeping [8808] dbg: util: PATH included '/usr/local/bin', keeping [8808] dbg: util: PATH included '/sbin', keeping [8808] dbg: util: PATH included '/bin', keeping [8808] dbg: util: PATH included '/usr/sbin', keeping [8808] dbg: util: PATH included '/usr/bin', keeping [8808] dbg: util: PATH included '/usr/X11R6/bin', keeping [8808] dbg: util: PATH included '/root/bin', which doesn't exist, dropping [8808] dbg: util: final PATH set to: /usr/kerberos/sbin:/usr/kerberos/bin:/usr/local/sbin:/usr/local/bin:/sbin:/b in:/usr/sbin:/usr/bin:/usr/X11R6/bin [8808] dbg: dns: no ipv6 [8808] dbg: dns: is Net::DNS::Resolver available? yes [8808] dbg: dns: Net::DNS version: 0.48 I have checked the version of Net::DNS installed and according to cpan I am up to date with version 0.6 so is there any relevance in the fact that the above output says it's using 0.48? That's it - I don't know if it's related to the OP's problem but any advice is welcomed. Thanks
