Setup a caching DNS server on the same box and you should see those numbers drop from 10 seconds to about 2 seconds or less. Just finished testing this in the lab.

Subject: What is causing this delay?<br>
<br>
Hello all,<br>
<br>
After many years away from MailScanner I installed new MS servers a couple of weeks ago. I’m happy to see that MS has continued to thrive!<br>
<br>
Now my problem: my 2 new servers are running into some timeout during messages scan as can be seen here:<br>
[root@smtpi3 conf.d]# MailScanner --lint 2>&1 | while true; do read l; echo "$(date +%T): $l";done<br>
08:01:56: Trying to setlogsock(unix)<br>

08:01:56: Read 17028 hostnames from the phishing blacklists<br>
08:01:56:<br>
08:01:56: Checking version numbers...<br>
08:01:56: Version number in MailScanner.conf (5.0.7) is correct.<br>
08:01:56:<br>
08:01:56: Your envelope_sender_header in spamassassin.conf is correct.<br>
08:01:56:<br>
08:01:56: Checking for SpamAssassin errors (if you use it)...<br>
08:01:56: Using SpamAssassin results cache<br>
08:01:56: Connected to SpamAssassin cache database<br>

08:02:14: There is 1 message in the Processing Attempts Database<br>
08:02:14: Using locktype = posix<br>
08:02:14: MailScanner.conf says "Virus Scanners = clamd"<br>
08:02:14: Found these virus scanners installed: clamd<br>
08:02:14: ===========================================================================<br>
08:02:14: Filename Checks: Windows/DOS Executable (1 eicar.com)<br>

08:02:14: Virus Scanner test reports:<br>
08:02:14: Clamd said "eicar.com was infected: Eicar-Test-Signature"<br>
08:02:14:<br>
08:02:14: If any of your virus scanners (clamd)<br>
08:02:14: are not listed there, you should check that they are installed correctly<br>
08:02:14: and that MailScanner is finding them correctly via its virus.scanners.conf.<br>
<br>
If you look at the timestamps between "Connected to SpamAssassin cache database" and "SpamAssassin reported no errors", you'll see a 18 seconds delay, which seems excessive. I've redone this many times and it never goes lower than 10 seconds.<br>
<br>
If I do a "MailScanner --debug-sa" I get the following delays:<br>
In Debugging mode, not forking...<br>
Trying to setlogsock(unix)<br>
08:18:36 Aug 24 08:18:36.710 [10096] dbg: logger: adding facilities: all ...<br>

08:19:36 Have a batch of 1 message.<br>
08:19:36 Stopping now as you are debugging me.<br>
<br>
I tried to look at the dns settings but couldn't figure out what might be off. I am not running a caching nameserver. My old MS servers are not either and do not show this delay.<br>
<br>
Thanks for you help.<br>
<br>
