help - big queue slow load

[MailScanner]

If the mail is only being processed very slowly, then unless you have the
parallelism set too *high* (Max Children should be 5 to start with) then
there must be some good reason why it is taking a long time. Set "Log Speed
= yes" in MailScanner.conf and restart MailScanner. Then look at your logs
and work out what is taking all the time? 

When you ran with "--debug
--sa-debug", were there any long pauses in the output? There shouldn't be,
once it has started doing the spam scanning. 

Also, you can try switching
off the spam scanning altogether, just to double check that is where the
problem lies and not in your virus scanning. What is "Virus Scanners =" set
to in MailScanner.conf?

 Most likely DNS lookups. Check your
DNS is working properly and you can reach all the blacklists you use very
quickly.

 Start by doing a "MailScanner --debug --sa-debug" and watch for
any long pauses.
