<p class=MsoNormal><span lang=EN-GB>Hi List<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class=MsoNormal><span lang=EN-GB><o:p> </o:p></span></p>
<p class=MsoNormal><span lang=EN-GB>I get a few complaints from users that Spam
has got through, quite often when I investigate the message I can see in the
logs that that SpamAssassin timed out and therefore scored zero.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class=MsoNormal><span lang=EN-GB><o:p> </o:p></span></p>
<p class=MsoNormal><span lang=EN-GB>Looking at logwatch an average day I would
see<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class=MsoNormal><span lang=EN-GB><o:p> </o:p></span></p>
<p class=MsoNormal>20166 messages Scanned by MailScanner<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class=MsoNormal>170 SpamAssassin timeout(s)<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class=MsoNormal>Im just after tips as to how to troubleshoot/minimize timeouts,
sometimes ive managed to get a copy of the message and ran spamassasin –t
–D < message and it works and scores fine, I don’t think its
down to load as the load average rarely goes above 3.00 on this server. I also run
a caching name server<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class=MsoNormal>Ive also tried upping the SpamAssasin timeout from 60 to
120? <o:p></o:p></p>
<p class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class=MsoNormal>Any other tips? I was thinking perhaps an option if
spamassasin times out the message could be put back in mqueue.in for a further
attempt to scan the message?<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class=MsoNormal>Kind Regards<o:p></o:p></p>
