I didn't see any timeouts for those, but I did get several errors, including
these:

[7149] dbg: bayes: no dbs present, cannot tie DB R/O:
/var/spool/postfix/.spamassassin/bayes_toks

[7201] dbg: plugin: loading Mail::SpamAssassin::Plugin::Razor2 from @INC
[7201] dbg: razor2: razor2 is not available

Yes, I am. Where is the main SpamAssassin run/what directory do I move them

Ah, I just spoke with the network admin, and he changed the ip address. I
just changed it to what he had, so hopefully that will make a difference.

Nope. No timeout.

Thanks again to everyone helping me with this problem!
