SpamAssassin timed out

[Eric Junker]

I am running MailScanner 4.30, SpamAssassin 2.63 on FreeBSD 5.2. Recently I
have seen errors such as:

SpamAssassin timed out and was killed, failure 2 of 20.

> ps auxwww | grep MailScanner | wc -l
      12

There are 12 instances of MailScanner but I have it set in MailScanner.conf
to only run 5 instances. Why aren't they being killed correctly?

Here is part of the output of spamassassin -D --lint

debug: all '*To' addrs:
debug: RBL: success for 0 of 1 queries
debug: RBL: timeout for rfci-dsn after 26 seconds
debug: running meta tests; score so far=3.076
debug: is spam? score=3.076 required=5
tests=DATE_MISSING,DCC_CHECK,NO_REAL_NAME

I assume this is why SA is timing out. How can I figure out why the RBL is
timing out?

I also have errors like this:
May 24 13:46:05 aldebaran MailScanner[11145]: Virus scanner "clamavmodule"
not found in virus.scanners.conf file. Please check your spelling in "Virus
Scanners =" line of MailScanner.conf

cpan> install Mail::ClamAV
Going to read /root/.cpan/sources/authors/01mailrc.txt.gz
CPAN: Compress::Zlib loaded ok

CPAN: HTTP::Date loaded ok
Going to read /root/.cpan/sources/modules/03modlist.data.gz
Mail::ClamAV is up to date.

The module is installed. Why would it not be able to find clamavmodule? Do
both of these errors indicate that I have something wrong with my
installation of perl? I am using perl 5.6.1

Thanks,
