Dear,

I used spamassassin quite a while without any troubles.
Yesterday I suddenly noticed that my mails are not filtered anymore.
(Missing X-Spam headers and of course SPAM in my inbox)

Inside the procmail.log I found for each mail:
-----
procmail: Timeout, terminating "/usr/bin/spamassassin"
procmail: Rescue of unfiltered data succeeded
-----

Really weird is, that I did not changed any thing in my configuration.

The first unfiltered mail has a arrival time very near of my last
dselect update.

If I remember correct, some of the perl packets were updated. Maybe
there is a problem with perl?

I tried to test around a bit and sent myself some mails (one by one). I
looked at several logfiles and measured the running time of the called
/usr/bin/spamassassin process. (procmail calls it.)

For empty mails (empty body or only a signature) it took 4.6 minutes to
pass spamassassin and/or razor.
I do not know what would be normal but I guess for my machine that's
much too slow. (see system details at the end of this mail)

When I passed "normal" (with a message in the body) mails through
spamassassin the timeout was reachead and procmail dumped two lines as
shown above.

I have really no idea why its so slow now. My only guess is that I have
a perl problem made by the last update.

System and Software:
P4, 2GHz, 900 MB RAM

debian woody 2.4.17
spamassassin 2.20
razor 1.20
(both selfconfiguring deb packets)
postfix 1.1.11
procmail 3.22
cyrus-imapd 1.5.19


Way of email:

fetchmail -> postfix -> procmail -> cyrus

inside procmail:
procmail -> spamassassin -> razor ->  procmail


For any help I would be very glad!

kind regards
Timm
