really slow spamd scan
Greetings all, I am quite new to SA (a week of SA life), and the SA is working, the thing is, SA is incredibly slow on my server (2.8GHZ CPU + 2GB Memory + Qmail + Qmail-scanner). Here's a typical scan log: result: . 0 - SPF_PASS scantime=14.7,size=1689 ... . And I have checked the SA wiki and found there is a note saying if you are using UTF-8 locale, the performance can be low. What I am wondering is: Will it be that slow? Any suggestion is appreciated.

That SA takes 14 seconds to deliver a message is not an issue, email is not a real time process anyway and transiting email from one gateway to another can take minutes or hours. The scantime=14.7 does not mean the scan time of spamassassin? Problem would be is SA would make high CPU load on your server. 14 seconds may be just the delay for the various network tests to respond. You mean the test form SA? I have googled for this kind of situations and I found I am the slowest. If I stop the spamd, the delivery will be much faster. Bests Olivier Thanks very much for the suggestion! Deephay
Re: really slow spamd scan
Greetings, I think I have diabled the DNS and URI lookups and Razor/Pyzor/DCC, and it still takes around 1x seconds to scan one email, but we have a little power supply problem at this moment so I cannot check the configuration file, I'll check it later. I still think it may be caused by the UTF-8 locale. Since the load of that mail server is not high, so may be I just let it there for a moment if I cannot find where the "problem" is.

Are you using smapc/spamd or plain spamassassin? it is spamc/spamd.. And I think there is a way to tell spamassassin to report what tests actually take some time to execute, so you can see where you are loosing time. How can I do that? thx a lot! Bests, Olivier

Read the manual :) I think I remember I once read something about it, but honnestly I have noanswer. Best regards, Olivier Thanks, Oliver.
