I have discovered a mistake in my exim configuration that caused exim
to hand over all sizes to spamassassin.  This was the same on the old
and new servers, but apparently attributed greatly towards timeouts on
the new server.  Correcting that mistake to make exim only hand
messages smaller than 100k to spamassassin, had a clear effect on the
timeouts.  Since that change in the configuration - about 18 hours
ago, there was not one timeout.

It seems that the newer version of Spamassassin handles large messages
less efficiently than the older version.

Regards
Johann
