Why don't you try Amavisd-new?  You wouldn't have the problem of waiting
for SA before incoming email gets accepted.

Subject: [SAtalk] SA 2.60 *VERY* slow.


This is nuts.  I'm going to have to back out 2.60 tonight
if I can't get this resolved today.  (Which I really hate
to do; 2.60 does seem to catch more spam.)

Other things I have done:

Put the MIMEDefang directory on ramdisk.

Turned on MIMEDefang queueing with a depth of 10.

It's still having spells of rejecting connections as
"it's busy" when CPU is less than 50%.

(This is on a Solaris box.)
