Well, I have to tell you I'm continuing with the same problem with too many messages in HOLD folder and a terrible delay (sometimes 1 hour) and because the way my company works it's not allowed to keep messages for more than 10 min... I have to remember that when I disable spamassassin in mailscanner everything is fine... There's no dough the cause of my problem is the high traffic in my connection to Internet and SA and DNS timeouts. I was thinking in change SA for another anti-spam ..I read about Dspam (
<font size="-1"><span class="a"><a href="http://www.nuclearelephant.com">www.nuclearelephant.com</a></span></font>).. and I want to ask the list if Dspam can be integrated with mailscanner...Any ideas?<br><br>thanks in advance

If your MailScanner children eat up too much, one thing could be to<br>lower the amount of children. If the childrens workers hang around<br>waiting for slow responses, you might need look more closely on why<br>that is... and correct that (in this case more RAM could be a very
<br>good aid, but still a band.aid where an amputation would be<br>better;-):-).<br><br>Anyway, I'm sure you know where to look, what to do:).<br><div><div></div><div class="Wj3C7c"><br>Cheers<br>--<br>-- Glenn<br>email: glenn < dot > steen < at > gmail < dot > com
