Even with a good connection, I've wound up zeroing out a few DNS blacklists because the score contribution they make is too low to be worth doing a DNS query (which can take several second).
#first, zero some low-scoring DNS lists. <0.5 is NOT worth cost of lookup.
score RCVD_IN_OSIRUSOFT_COM 0
score X_OSIRU_DUL_FH 0
score X_OSIRU_SPAMWARE_SITE 0
You can also speed SpamAssassin up by shortening the timeout for RBLs, which reduces the amount of pain they incur when one goes down on you:
#the following reduces the time for a run of SA if a BL
# becomes unavailable or get bogged down,
#but risks timing out valid blacklist data.
rbl_timeout 5
If you know you have connectivity to your DNS server 24 hours a day, you can skip SA's "is the nameserver alive" checks:
#this speeds up SA by skipping a check to see if DNS works
#since xanadu is it's own dns server this is probably a good
#idea.
dns_available yes

TRACKER_ID is a good one to lose, for example. --j. ------------------------------------------------------- This sf.net email is sponsored by:ThinkGeek Welcome to geek heaven. http://thinkgeek.com/sf _______________________________________________ Spamassassin-talk mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/spamassassin-talk
