I tried the evilrules.cf on my dual AMD 1Gb 2 Ultra-SCSI qmail server and it died in minutes.
I run 100K+ emails in a 24 hour period. (98+% are tagged as spam) After reboot I see that spamd takes a while to catch up... avg is 30+ seconds per msg (all rbl look ups are set to timeout at 5 seconds, so anything more than 10 seconds is a spamd issue). Using perl may be a quick way to get spamassassin to work, but it totally sucks on moderate volumes of mail.
