[18696] dbg: config: read file /etc/mail/spamassassin/blacklist-uri.cf [18696] dbg: config: read file /etc/mail/spamassassin/blacklist.cf Ditch blacklist and blacklist-uri. These two are well known ways to kill spamassassin on all but the absolute most beastly machines money can buy. (i.e.: I wouldn't consider it in even a low volume environment with less than 8 gigs of ram and the fastest processors money can buy. Even then it might not run very well.) They really shouldn't be in RDJ anymore, as these are really only useful as a research tool now days. The blacklist-uri is also 100% replaced by the WS list in surbl.org. The plain blacklist file lists From: addresses, which is interesting, but not very useful in real spam fighting due to the high frequency of forgery (and certainly not worth the absurd hardware requirements needed to run it well).
