Actually, I already heard this question and is probably better addressed to the 
pyzor list.

However, the fact is that the 66.250.40.33 seems to be a bit overwhelmed and 
just can't handle many of the requests it receives.

A new server had been setup (82.94.255.100:24441). The problem is that the 
pyzor project actually doesn't provide any mean to replicate the data among the 
two servers. However, efforts in this matter are going to be spent and it may 
be that a replicating layer will be available within weeks.

Actually, you have two options:

 a) manually change your server to 82.94.255.100:24441. If you choose this, 
expect to have
    less spam reports from Pyzor: much less people uses 82.91.255.100;

 b) leave the servers file as is, lower the pyzor's timeout and increase the 
maximum retries:
    I've been told that many short-time attempts are better that a single, 
long-lasting,
    one. So, in your local.cf, try using something like:

        use_pyzor 1
        pyzor_timeout 3
        pyzor_max 10

    your mileage may vary.

If you like, there is also a third option which uses both servers. The SA patch 
http://issues.apache.org/SpamAssassin/show_bug.cgi?id=5148 is needed in order 
to adopt this.
