I am running Spamassassin 2.43 from Procmail on my laptop. SA is installed in the default directories of ~/sausr and ~/saetc.
I use fetchmail to retrieve mail from my POP3 accounts both at home and at work. When I initially start up my laptop at home, there may be 100 messages waiting for me that fetchmail retrieves. Fetchmail downloads them all and it takes a very long time for them to be filtered with Procmail when Spamassassin is used. I initially used the Procmail recipe from the installation guide but have since added a lockfile to see if that makes a difference. It hasn't. While I was downloading mail tonight, ps -ef|grep procmail returned 90 procmail -f processes running. It took about 20 minutes to process all of those messages. I would appreciate any ideas or direction for improving the performance of Spamassassin. Thanks. -- Michael Herman
