<DIV><SPAN class=976483509-05022004><FONT face=Arial color=#0000ff size=2>Also
are you running any custom SA rulesets that might be slowing SpamAssassin
down?? - I've had problems in the past with the sa-blacklist and
sa-blacklist-uri custom sets as they are so big.</FONT></SPAN></DIV>

<DIV><SPAN class=976483509-05022004><FONT face=Arial color=#0000ff size=2>If
you want to disable MailWatch to confirm that it is not causing your problems,
you can do this by commenting the line in CustomConfig.pm that says "require
'MailScanner/MailWatch.pm';" and restart MailScanner and see if that helps at
all.</FONT></SPAN></DIV>
