A few questions I have: What SA version are you running? spamassassin --version What do you have --max-children set to? How much memory do you have free when the box is fully loaded? I'm trying to see if you have any headroom left to have more spamd children running. It sounds like your problem is with waiting on DNS returns. This should mean that you have plenty of processing power remaining just not enough children to handle the requests. Other things to consider: Do you use RBLs at the MTA level? Do you have user verification at the MTA level? Look for messages your MTA can drop before sending to SA. Kris
