Are you using bayes? If so, it might be the bug that I believe still exists in 3.0 where the bayes tokens are due to expire and SA goes into an infinite loop until it hits the 600 default timeout and just fails, or maybe its looping in the bayesdb and it never finishes, either way its not desired behavior. I've mailed about this before and got no response. If you run spamassassin -D you should see some warning message like aiee, bayes_atime not right or something to that affect. What I did to get around this problem was to put a cron job to force expire the bayes tokens twice a month, and the problem went away. The cron job command was simply: sa-learn --force-expire Mike -- /-----------------------------------------\ | Michael Barnes <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> | | UNIX Systems Administrator | | College of William and Mary | | Phone: (757) 879-3930 | \-----------------------------------------/
