If you don't want to use Pyzor or Razor you would comment out the loadplugin lines in v310.pre. To avoid lint errors after commenting them out do not use configuration items like: use_pyzor 0 This thread may possibly help you determine where SA spends its time: http://marc.info/?l=amavis-user&m=117874388132138 Is there a nameserver running on the same machine where SpamAssassin is installed? Are you using it as the resolver? Regards, -sm 1. Yes there is 2. As far as I know, yes. If it is using the resolv.conf in the machine it is running on. Spamassassin is called by Amavis which is called by Postfix, in none of these I can find any reference to another DNS number. Thanks Claudia _ See what youre getting into before you go there http://newlivehotmail.com/?ocid=TXT_TAGHM_migration_HM_viral_preview_0507

Hi, As discussed earlier, some spamhaus is now blocking more servers than before. I had to disable spamhaus checks to fix up my servers (even a server that handles less than 2000 messages a day). I'm also seeing the lookups on completewhois.com failing about 40% of the time, I might remove them as well. Regards, Rick
