MailScanner[31525]: SpamAssassin timed out and was killed, co nsecutive failure 1 of 20

Why did I get a time out on this message? I admit SA was having problems when this email got delivered, but
I looked for the 20 consecutive failures but never got over 5, and yet SA still timed out on this message. Does MS just not wait for SA to get through 20 falures before it writes SA off and just says that it times out?
Thanks,
Chase

If the network is slow, or any RBLs that spamassassin is using are congested, or probably a half dozen other reasons you'll get the occaisional time out. The phrase "1 of 20" is the key. In other words, it will try 20 times before giving up. If you see a series of those going up to "20 of 20" you have a problem. If it's just the odd timeout here and there it's the email equivilant of hitting a slow web page. I think...

I've been getting several of these lately too. Do you happen to be using Razor with SpamAssassin? I think Razor's servers are getting congested at certain times of the day and causing the SpamAssassin calls from MailScanner to time out. I'm not sure if there is a way to tell SpamAssassin to let Razor timeout and continue with other checks.
Thanks,
Chase

Hi All,
Someone can tell me the reason for this error that appear in my maillog?
"MailScanner[31525]: SpamAssassin timed out and was killed, consecutive failure 1 of 20"
I read about this and I found out the it can be a DNS problem but not In my case.
I think that because of this problem a lot of spam is getting into my organization.
Thanks a lot.
