According to https://spamassassin.apache.org/full/3.2.x/doc/Mail_SpamAssassin_Conf.html : "By default, SpamAssassin will query some default hosts on the internet to attempt to check if DNS is working or not. The problem is that it can introduce some delay if your network connection is down, and in some cases it can wrongly guess that DNS is unavailable because the test connections failed." I decided that since the network should always be available, there's no reason for spamassassin to test it. -Thom > > On April 22, 2015 8:44:59 PM EDT, Thom Miller <t...@cagroups.com> > wrote: > >On Sat, 18 Apr 2015 08:16:40 -0700 > >Michael Williamson <michael.h.william...@gmail.com> wrote: > > > >> Hi, > >> > >> I have another question. > >> > >> It appears to me that spamassassin can produce different spam > >> scores for the same email. > >> In particular, I have noticed that points are omitted for > >> RCVD_IN_SBL_CSS (Spamhaus blacklist) sometimes.
