Mailscanner Spamassassin timing out

I have not upgraded to the recent version just because I don't want to screw
it up.  I plan on rebuilding the machine in the beginning of the year
though.

Here is my entry in the conf file:
Spam List = # ORDB-RBL spamcop.net spamhaus.org # MAPS-RBL+ costs money
(except
.ac.uk)

# If an individual "Spam List" or "Spam Domain List" check takes longer
# that this (in seconds), the check is abandoned and the timeout noted.
Spam List Timeout = 40 # was 10

# The maximum number of timeouts caused by any individual "Spam List" or
# "Spam Domain List" before it is marked as "unavailable". Once marked,
# the list will be ignored until the next automatic re-start (see
# "Restart Every" for the longest time it will wait).
# This can also be the filename of a ruleset.
Max Spam List Timeouts = 7


Is that the correct one?

Billy,

What version of spamassasin are you running ?

Did you recently upgrade SA and MS ?

Try to bump timeout to 60-80 and see what happens.
