Normally 30s? That's crazy... what kind of Sun is running spamd? If it's a modern system and up to the task, perhaps the problem is elsewhere. If you're doing dns checks with SpamAssassin, make sure the nameservers defined in resolv.conf are correct - scans could take 30s if the first nameserver times out or something else. -- (Mr.) Hannu Liljemark | Appelsiini Finland Oy | http://appelsiini.com ------------------------------------------------------- This SF.net email is sponsored by: The SF.net Donation Program.
