SpamAssassin timed out and was killed

normally timeouts are a result of the RBL's not getting their 
information quickly enought.

I turn most of them off by giving them a zero score in my 
spam.assassin.prefs.conf (see a post last week from me on this).

BUT if you are using bigevil.cf and the sa-blacklist's you'll be 
increasing the processing requireed by a huge amount as they are massive 
files. You'd be better off using the www.sorbl.org alternatives via the 
spamcop-uri plug-in.
