extreamly long delays

[Kris Stumpner]

I'm having a problem similar to this.  I keep getting 'Spamassassin timed
out and was killed.'  I bumped the timeout time for scanning the messages
from 10 seconds to 30 seconds and now I don't get this error... BUT,
SpamAssassin is taking 15-30 seconds to scan each email.

  I have done both.



  However, I change:

  Check Spam = yes

  to Check Spam = no



  now everything is flying.  After doing a little reading, I've learned that
slow dns resolution can cause this problem.  However, I don't have a problem
at all with resolving domain names.



  Any idea's on what I should check for this?



  Spam Assassin was working great before (and still does if I run it rather
than mailscanner).

  Try using delivery method = Queue and set Deliver in background to yes.
  Also lower your amount of logging in sendmail cf to like 7 from 9. This
  should help a lot.
  What are the specs on your mailserver. Also, what features do you have
  enabled in your mailscanner.conf?

  I'm having some problems with regarding very long delays in mail delivery.
It seems as if it's getting 'stuck' when there are pieces of mail in the
mail queue in the state of Deferred.  Right now, I see 315 pieces of mail,
all in the state of Deferred (with Connection refused) when I do a mailq.
There are also           2157 pieces of mail in /var/spool/mqueue.in, and
the number keeps growing.



  I have the following set in my mailscanner.conf:



  Max Safe   Messages Per Scan = 500

  Max Unsafe Messages Per Scan = 100

  Max Safe   Bytes Per Scan = 10000000

  Max Unsafe Bytes Per Scan = 5000000



  I'm pretty sure this has something to do with it.  I've been trying to
change the settings here in hopes to increase the speed of both scanning and
delivery.



  I'm also using

  Delivery Method = batch



  Any help on this would be great.

  Bill Omer
