I don't really know and hopefully others will have better
suggestions. But the first thing I would try is to run spamassassin
in local mode.
Options:
-L, --local Local tests only (no online tests)
Since you are running it offline I am guessing that SA is trying to do
network lookups and this is taking the extra time.
Why did this start? I will make a second guess that something on your
laptop is different in the networking system. The first file I would
check would be /etc/resolv.conf to see if dns name lookup is different
than you expect when offline. DNS lookups are "blocking" calls and
can cause processes to wait during lookup. Double check everything
and make sure that dns lookups fail quickly when offline.
I actually do my own spamassassin online before getting to the laptop
where I read mail offline. The online tests and DNSBLs are much more
effective than the offline tests. I fear that offline spam testing
isn't good enough. If you can get the spamassassin part running
online before getting to your laptop I am sure you will have a
superior result.
Hope this helps,
Bob
