<DIV><SPAN class=976483509-05022004><FONT face=Arial color=#0000ff size=2>Post
the output of: </FONT></SPAN><SPAN class=976483509-05022004><FONT

rbl=-3,rulesrun=255 -p /etc/MailScanner/spam.assassin.prefs.conf --lint" as

<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>
