Yes still getting timeouts

I was just surprised that exim wasn't willing to wait 20sec for the scan to complete.

using 4 CPUS

Cpu0  : 73.5%us,  1.1%sy,  0.0%ni, 22.0%id,  1.6%wa,  0.1%hi,  1.8%si,
0.0%st
Cpu1  : 70.6%us,  1.0%sy,  0.0%ni, 23.9%id,  1.2%wa,  0.0%hi,  3.3%si,
0.0%st
Cpu2  : 70.4%us,  0.8%sy,  0.0%ni, 24.3%id,  1.1%wa,  0.0%hi,  3.4%si,
0.0%st
Cpu3  : 69.9%us,  0.8%sy,  0.0%ni, 24.9%id,  1.0%wa,  0.0%hi,  3.4%si,
0.0%st

OK, it looks like you're fairly well-provisioned there.

What version of SA is this?

Do you have any local rules defined, or any third-party rules? Or just the stock rules?

How recently were your stock rules updated?

Do you know how to run spamassassin against a single message in debug mode?

 2. Can you check your SA logs and see what the average scan times look
like?

Scan time varis beteen 1 - 20 seconds


Yet exim times out?


 3 .Do you know how to change the timeout in the SA glue?
No , please advice


I'm not familiar with exim, sorry.


 4. What is your SA glue layer?

Both exim and spamassin services runs in the same server , exim calls
spamassin via 127.0.0.1 address

5. What hardware is devoted to SA? Is it perhaps overloaded?
Its runs on vmware server


I see 5GB RAM in the earlier mail, and no swap in use, so you appear OK
for RAM. How many CPUs does the VM have assigned?
