<P><FONT size=2>I had the same problem 2 weeks ago with slightly more timeouts
and my problem was related to bayes database size/corruption. I went
through the whole debugging things but couldn't catch a timeout
successfully. I ended up using the bayes starter db from fsl.com as an
immediate replacement for my old, rickety bayes db that was over 150MB.

<P><FONT size=2>You need SA 2.63 to use bayes-starter and I would run in debug
mode first to make sure it sticks (make sure you adjust permissions so your
new .spamassassin dir and files within match your old one). </FONT></P>
<P><FONT size=2>Here is my cmd line:</FONT> </P>
<P><FONT size=2>$ cd /root</FONT> <BR><FONT size=2>$ service MailScanner
stop</FONT> <BR><FONT size=2>$ mv .spamassassin spamold</FONT> <BR><FONT
size=2>$ wget <A href="http://www.fsl.com/support/bayes-starter.tar.gz"
target=_blank>http://www.fsl.com/support/bayes-starter.tar.gz</A></FONT>
<BR><FONT size=2>$ tar xvzf bayes-starter.tar.gz</FONT> <BR><FONT size=2>$ mv
bayes .spamassassin</FONT> <BR><FONT size=2>$ cp spamold/user_prefs
.spamassassin</FONT> <BR><FONT size=2>$ service MailScanner start</FONT> </P>
<P><FONT size=2>This completely solved my problem. I have been
processing about 60K msgs per day per MS server with 0 SA timeouts. I'm
not sure if it will solve your problem but it might be worth a shot. How
large is your bayes db now? Do you do any regularly scheduled
maintenance on it (via MS, SA, etc.?).<SPAN class=622494216-26052004><FONT
