<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>When I went to <A
href="http://www.gfi.com/emailsecuritytest/">http://www.gfi.com/emailsecuritytest/</A> to
test my email system.. then I checked maillog (tail -f /var/log/maillog) -
it flooded with "SpamAssassin timed out and was killed, failure n of
20"</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>what the best way to solve this, scan each email
once at time or something.</FONT></DIV></FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>It just would not complete to scan all the email
and it take forever, I just cleared all the email queue.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2></FONT> </DIV>
