Hi Brad -- I'm not a sendmail expert, but IMO the problem is the number of concurrent deliveries sendmail is allowing. Basically a spam-check may take up to 10 seconds per mail, so sendmail should run only a certain number of concurrent deliveries (20 or so?) and wait for them to complete before spawning more. Maybe a sendmail wiz could help... --j. _______________________________________________ Spamassassin-talk mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/spamassassin-talk
