Yes
! Here is my command line (on both servers):

! XMAIL_CMD_LINE="-Pl -Sl -Ql -Qt 10 -Qr 50 -Yl -Fl -Cl -Ll -SX 100"

!10 minutes, correct? All of the "l" are lower case "L"s.
10 seconds?
I have -Qg -Qt 907 -Qi 1 -Qr 9
Default Qt 480 so I guess that's not minutes.

Only a home server here, k6-400, NetBSD 3.1, total memory = 127 MB,
avail memory = 119 MB. I used to send a batch of 12 emails from a
remote account as test of spamassassin and fprot, 6 x connections
each to 2 accounts. Occasionally all would slowly get through but
mostly system crashed (I think there is a memory problem from NetBSD
2.0 on and still not located/fixed with 4.0). Seemed most likely
spamassassin perl script was using all memory but I set a check in
both fprot and spamassassin to each limit number of scans to 2. That
fixed the problem completely.
I'm sure possibly several years back I've had cases of seeing
incoming email connections in firewall logs but nothing arriving in
mailbox. Going through spool and deleting any that appeared to be
spam would fix the problem. It's happened so infrequently that I
never tried to work out exact cause.
