That is Qmail-Scanner's way of telling you that either the message was too big to be acceptable for scanning by SA, or that SA took too long to scan it. From the sounds of it - it's the latter. As the timeout is 30 seconds, it means you have a problem with SA. Check your load, network performance, etc. All sorts of external factors can make spamd take longer to scan messages than is acceptable. Actually - I see you are running an old release of both SA and Qmail-Scanner. You should really upgrade both first. -- Cheers Jason Haar Information Security Manager, Trimble Navigation Ltd.
