<p>If the mail is only being processed very slowly, then unless you have the parallelism set too *high* (Max Children should be 5 to start with) then there must be some good reason why it is taking a long time. Set "Log Speed = yes" in MailScanner.conf and restart MailScanner. Then look at your logs and work out what is taking all the time?</p>
<p>When you ran with "--debug --sa-debug", were there any long pauses in the output? There shouldn't be, once it has started doing the spam scanning.</p>
<p>Also, you can try switching off the spam scanning altogether, just to double check that is where the problem lies and not in your virus scanning. What is "Virus Scanners =" set to in MailScanner.conf?</p>

Check your DNS is working properly and you can reach all the blacklists you use very quickly.<br /><br /> Start by doing a "MailScanner --debug --sa-debug" and watch for any long pauses.
