Errr - an IP address is an IP address. If running the test spam really
takes 230 seconds for spamd to process, you have a problem with your SA
install.

The  timeouts in SA should be such that you never allow any particular
e-mail to take more than (say) 10 seconds to process. At 230 seconds, I'd
say you're pretty susceptible to a DoS attack...
