Particular emails forcing SA timeouts

[Michael R. Dilworth (E-mail)]

        I've seen this too, the domains have screwy dns. Just
        increase the time out value.

        Save the message and run it trough sa with debug and
        you will see what I mean.  In my case it took 50 seconds
        to complete the dns lookups.

Mr. Hepworth,

I have a good bit of stuff in my SA config file. My blacklist is fairly
long.

But I'm not seeing timeouts in general. It consistantly happens on these
emails. They are all similar in content and I'm fairly certain they are from
the same place (just using spoofed IPs and domain names).

I fear that someone has figured a way to bypass SA through MS.

Thanks.
