</div></div>Hi Swati,<br>
MailScanner Spamassassin timing out can be due to multiple reasons most<br>
likely this is a DNS issue like others have said. It could also be a<br>
huge BAYES file or a blocked RAZOR port etc<br>
<br>
Just check if your SA is still quering all the Dead DNS lists<br>
( secuirtysage , ORDB , OPM BLITZED , DOB etc )<br>
<br>
I would suggest take any mail and run<br>
spamassassin -D -t < /path/mail<br>
(test with a mail with multiple urls and one that has passed thru<br>
different mail hops )<br>
<br>
That test would most probably give you enough results to find what is<br>
taking time.<br>
