James, Timeout is 600 seconds. If spamd doesn't have respond in that amount of time them there is something else is wrong. I suppose that if all of the spamd threads are clogged then you might find a waiting list but 600 seconds is a lifetime.
We had a misconfigured DNS once that slowed all threads down causing them to take 60 seconds per email and still haven't experienced the problem you have mentioned. > -----Original Message----- > From: James Keating [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] > Sent: Wednesday, April 05, 2006 6:55 PM > To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] > Cc: users@spamassassin.apache.org > Subject: Re: Postfix/SpamAssassin Integration > > [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: > > > Is this a high volume mail server? > > Yes it is rather high volume server, I don't have any estimates on # of > messages. > > > Something like this should do the trick (this is off the cuff, and just > > a reference, you will have to modify for your exact setup). > > > > master.cf > > spamassassin unix - n n - 50 pipe > > argv=/usr/bin/procmail -m /path to procmailrc/procmailrc ${sender} > > ${recipient} > > > > Procmail really isn't an option in this case, the server is in a tiered > setup in which it forwards the mail on to another server which completes > delivery. > > - James
