So when disabling RBLs the problem disappears. 

No, the problem disapear when I turn off spamassassin completily in mailscanner config file. Sometimes I enable Spamassassin check but disable razor2, DCC and pyzor in spam.assassin.prefs.conf and it work better.. BUT, if I fully enalbe spamassassin with DCC, razor2 and pyzor the load average begins to increase and thousands of mails begins comes to HOLD folder .. Do you think it's time to split the load in two servers? I mean something like this: 
Router 
NAT rules to SMTP farm serves. 
I 
I 
______________________________ 
I I 
Server2 SMTP Server1 SMTP 
Mailscanner/sa Mailscanner/sa 

I think I have two problems, to much spam (80% of total emails --> from vispan) and my the line 256k/frame relay is FULL. 

Any other ideas?

Thats a start! If your bandwidth is saturated then lookups are taking a long time. Is your Internet connection being over utilised ? Sorry not at machine to check the RBLs you are using.

Well ASN is hashed out in your v320 pre file but is still active in the v310 file. 
What does it means? 



We process over 100k messages a day on a 256k line so no real worries there. You say a high percentage of your traffic is SMTPr ba, how are you identifying that ? 




I can see the traffic in my WAN network using a cisco router/netflow collector. 


Are you performing any sort of packet shaping or QoS then ? 
No 


It does sound to me like DNS timeouts when performing lookups, as others have also said. 
Well, I use a only caching dns (caching-nameserver-7.3-3) 


If you set the list of RBLs to check to blank in MailScanner.conf does the problem disappear ? 
Do you mean thie line: 
Spam List = #ORDB-RBL SBL+XBL spamcop.net NJABL SORBS # 

When the problem disappear is when I set: 
Use Spamassassin = no 
and restart mailscanner... 

thanks in advance 
Israel
