SpamAssassin is constantly timing out

[Koopmann, Jan-Peter]

Hi Jules,

funny thing is that at one site I have a similar problem. We see SA
timeouts, sometimes 3 times a day, sometimes 10 times a day. I even see
things like

Jul  3 12:39:56 proxy MailScanner[99745]: SpamAssassin timed out and was
killed, failure 0 of 20

Failure 0 of 20??? :-)

The server is not overloaded, DNS is usually working quite fine. Timeout
is set to 200 seconds. I have no clue what this could be and how I could
debug this. I could use SA Logs for an entire day to see what happens.
Any ideas how to debug this?


Regards,
