I'm trying to get SA working by remote connections and don't see it consistantly working.

Users kick off SA in their .procmailrc on our mail server which can't handle
a more recent version of SA so we only have v2.64 installed locally. (Don't
ask)

What I'd like to do is have a call in their .procmailrc something like this

:0fw: $HOME/spamassassin.lock
| /opt/spamassassin/bin/spamc -d spamcheck.fqdn -t 10

I have spamcheck.fqdn as a SRV record something like this:

spamcheck       IN      SRV     1       1       783     samachine.fqdn.
                IN      SRV     2       1       783     mailmachine.fqdn.

ie connect to port 783 on samachine and if it's not available, connect to
same port on mailmachine and timeout within 10 seconds if neither works

perhaps the timeout is too quick as I see no spamassassin headers in mail
going thru even tho procmail logfiles say it executed the spamc line. I also tried variations on

| /opt/spamassassin/bin/spamc -d 127.0.0.1,10 -d 128.8.120.159,10 -t 10

Has anyone done spam checking to multiple machines with some type of failover?

TIA
