MailScanner and SpamAssassin timeout

[Valentin Laskov]

Hi and Happy New Year!

I see a great delay in the work of MailScanner and SpamAssassin. I 
increased SpamAssassin timeout in MailScanner.conf but I know this is 
not a solution. I still have

# cat /var/log/maillog | grep "SpamAssassin timed out" | wc -l
90

Please help me to debug my configuration!

This is the output of MailScanner --debug-sa
