<p style="margin-bottom: 12pt;">Hi<br>
<br>
normally this is either due to <br>
<br>
1) DNS issues (lots of RBLs - have you got most of them turned off?), <br>
<br>
2) bayes (have you got this running on a faster SDBM database than the default<br>

<br>
3) or things like DCC/pyzor/razor.<br>
<br>
Another thing to check is the SA-timeout value in MailScanner.conf, I normally
raise this well above the 75 default to around 300 at least.<br>

<p>Hi List</p>
<p> </p>
<p><span lang="EN-US">Hope everyone is enjoying the summer.</span></p>
<p><span lang="EN-US"> </span></p>
<p><span lang="EN-US">I got an annoying problem with SA timeouts. </span></p>
<p><span lang="EN-US"> </span></p>
<p><span lang="EN-US">For the past week my sampling shows that out of 51037
mails, spamassassin timed out on 66 of them.</span></p>
<p><span lang="EN-US"> </span></p>
<p><span lang="EN-US">This is not a big percentage obviously, but it bothers me
that I have a pretty decent protection scheme setup which lets very few spams
through.</span></p>
<p><span lang="EN-US"> </span></p>
<p><span lang="EN-US">I’d actually guess that SA time outs creates as many
false positives (as in mails MS thinks are ham) as actual spam slipping through
my anti-spam rules.</span></p>
<p><span lang="EN-US"> </span></p>
<p><span lang="EN-US">I was wondering if there was any way to make MS refuse to
have SA timeouts (or maybe make it configureable to atleast try the mail again
for x number of times before we accept to let the mail pass MS without having
been scanned by SA)</span></p>
<p><span lang="EN-US"> </span></p>
<p><span lang="EN-US">I don’t think this is possible with the current
version of MS.</span></p>
<p><span lang="EN-US"> </span></p>
<p><span lang="EN-US">Also note that simply increasing the sa timeout isn’t
as good a solution as the confirable “rety behavior (in my opinion
atleast)</span></p>
<p><span lang="EN-US"> </span></p>
<p><span lang="EN-US">So am I alone in thinking this would be a neat addition to
MS, or what do people think/do with sa timeouts in general?</span></p>
