Re: [Declude.JunkMail] Very slow Queue times...
Did you add new DNSBL or RHSBL tests when moving to 2.06? I thought I saw someone mention that the cause may have been a particular DNS-based test timing out, which was slowing down the processing of every email. If it can be identified, then perhaps Declude will remove it from the config, announce to all users to remove the test to avoid this problem, and update the online DNSBL/RHSBL list to reflect additions/deletions over the past year.

RE: [Declude.JunkMail] Very slow Queue times...
That would definitely contribute to slow processing, but the EASYNET lists have been dead for a long, long time. If you still want to use the data they held, check out the much more reliable tests here, which also host the legacy lists for EASYNET: http://www.njabl.org/ You might also want to look for Scott Fisher's recent posts on two Declude users's sites that track how well various RBLs they use are performing and adopt some of those good ones. Scott also included a well-known Internet page where somebody compares the effectiveness of various lists (it goes back quite a while).
