Is it possible that Spamassassin generate somme out traffic on our Wan?

SpamAssassin itself does not generate network traffic, although some of the optional modules that SA will use if available will generate network traffic.


Spamassassin does quite a lot of DNS lookup, so it will definitely generate that if you've got the Net::DNS perl module. This would be standard udp/53 and tcp/53 type DNS traffic and will be performed just like any other DNS lookup.

If you have razor, dcc, or pyzor installed, SA will use those and they will generate outbound traffic which isn't like anything else and might strike you as "weird" at first glance.

Offhand I know that Razor uses outbound tcp/7 and outbound tcp/2703. DCC udp/6277. (DCC servers also use tcp/6227 to communicate amongst themselves, but that's not an issue for systems doing query). Pyzor seems to default to tcp/24441.
