A new behavior?...SpamAssassin timed out (with no network checks) and was killed & Disabled RBL SBL+XBL as reached 7/10 timeouts [SCANNED]

[Dootall]

Hi,

I've got the same problem here. Mail processing takes much longer then
before (minutes instead of seconds), i first noticed it last weekend.
The current load is low as before.

I currently use a workaround, as i've increased the SA timeout. I don't
like the slow processing though and the fear tha SA will stop scanning
again.

Greetings,

How can a person tell that one of the RBL's is timing out?

We are also seeing SA timeouts and seeing blocks of spam passing :(

This started about 2 weeks ago, so not sure if maybe the amount of inbound
UCE is just over loading us. We are running a beefing machine, 1.75 GHz
Athlon with 3/4 Gig of Ram and the machine is strictly running Debian with
sendmail, MS/SA and basic Linux install. No www or other web related
processes.
