Particular emails forcing SA timeouts

[Michael R. Dilworth (E-mail)]

        Actually I have only one RBL in my setup SURBL!
        the timeouts are do to the MX lookups for the sender.

Or reduce the number of RBL's in use...

I just use the spamcop-XBL and sorbs ones. More than that I found I was
getting lots of SA-timeouts even on stupidly large timeout settings.

I guess you could always rsync/whatever the files locally and have local
zone files for the RBL's youself...
