One of our three SA boxes is not scanning some messages. And of course the messages not being scanned are spam mails. We are running OpenBSD 3.7, SA 3.1.0, Amavisd 2.3.3 and Postfix 2.2.6. If anyone has some suggestions on what to check, they would be greatly appreciated,

Thanks
Shane

Are you sure they are not being scanned? Is it posssible the spam scores below your $sa_tag_level_deflt setting in amavisd.conf so the X-Spam report is not written? Is it possible that the spam is larger than $sa_mail_body_size_limit (usually set to 200K) which would also prevent scanning? Is it only happening to certain recipients? Amavisd-new caches results, and will not scan if the same message body has been seen in a recent previous message (it will use the same SA score calculated on the previous message). Raise $log_level to at least 2, and verify that scannng is not taking place. Is SA timing out? If so, set $sa_timeout = 60; in amavisd.conf (the default is 30 seconds, and on a less powerful machine, it may not be enough with SA 3.1). Check your log for timeout messages.
