Indeed, thanks!

It would definitely be worth shortening a dns timeout limit in Botnet, or make it configurable (or both). > So far so good with Mark's patches - although I am awaiting his > follow-up regarding a possible bug... Not sure I understand this. My fixes make SA more robust when plugins misbehave. The Botnet problem still causes the mail processing to take half a minute, but now without ill-effects on other checks. Mark
