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.
