I'm working with Mark on this problem and it appears that there were three
problems - which always makes it a bit difficult to solve.

1. As Julian suggested there was a ruleset which contained the line:
        To:     <IP_Address>    no

2. Running The MailWatch SpamAssassin lint test showed that
        debug: RBL: success for 0 of 1 queries                  13.12644
        debug: RBL: timeout for rfci-dsn after 20 seconds        0.00019

So find the rule that's timing out:
        # cd /usr/share/spamassassin
        # grep -i rfci-dsn *
         20_dnsbl_tests.cf:header DNS_FROM_RFCI_DSN
eval:check_rbl_from_host('rfci-dsn', 'dsn.rfc-ignorant.org.')


vi /etc/MailScanner/spam.assassin.prefs.conf to add the line:

        score DNS_FROM_RFCI_DSN         0.0

And reload MailScanner and:

        time spamassassin -D \
        -p /etc/MailScanner/spam.assassin.prefs.cond --lint

Dropped from around 20 seconds to about 8 seconds.

3. It also looked like razor was running a bit slow so we turned off razor
checks and time to run spamassassin --lint tests dropped to around 2
seconds.

Is anyone else seeing these same or similar problems?

Thanks,

Steve
