Very slow spam checks

[Martin Hepworth]

Mike

what rules/RBL's are you using in SA?

what happens is you spamassassin -D -C <path-to>/MailScanner.conf --lint

what happens if you turn on both debug modes in MailScanner.conf, stop
MS and run check_mailscanner? Is there anything there where it's pausing
for a long time??
