SA RBL Failing

[Brady A. Tucker]

I actually upgraded to 2.60-vcs yesterday in an attempt to stop this
problem.. but will revert back to 2.55 as you suggested.

If you're doing production and want reliable performance you should NOT be
running the 2.60 CVS version of spamassassin.. that's a development
snapshot build and should be considered alpha-release quality at absolute
best.

I know for fact that the 2.60 development is currently reworking the DNS
code, so the fact that RBLs aren't timing out isn't surprising.. that code
is being changed as we speak, so that feature might be broken.. heck, it
might actually have been fixed already..

I'd strongly suggest using the stable release (2.55) if "alpha release
bugs" aren't acceptable..
