Periodically I have seen spam come in my inbox and after reviewing
the headers, I'd see that it didn't hit any of the DNS/URL BL
checks. So I left SA running in debug mode for a while and saw some
strange entries (sorry for the long post here). Fortunately, these
don't happen too often, but I would like to know if there is anything
I can do...
1) ...to configure my setup more correctly. For instance, I believe
spamhaus is now closed, correct? I see that same abort message in
EVERY message. So, how should I disable the spamhaus check. Or, if
it is still working, why is mine not?
possibly because you (or your dns forwarder) generate(s) too many
connections per day:

2) What can I do in procmail to check to make sure the DNS tests were
completed? Maybe give each mail a second or third chance to get the
DNS checks done. I'll probably have to pick one or two of them and
call them vital, and run a check against them just to see if it was
successful in testing the message, and if not, do it again.
Something like that, perhaps???
I don't understand this part.
Looks like they have timeouts. Make sure you use a local caching
nameserver. Sometimes things will just timeout due to other issues, but
a caching nameserver helps big time.
