Bottleneck with external tests
Please help me diagnose a problem I can't handle.
Since two days ago I have a huge perfomance problem.
I think it is related to external tests, because when I disable them
everything comes to normal. But the amount of spam that enters is
unacceptable by our users.
Version of spamassassin is 3.1.3 running on Perl version 5.8.4 (I use
it thru Amavis)
Latest version of rules are used, and I have erased rules regarding
Razor and Pyzor
Any help will be appreciated. Thanks

try lowering rbl_timeout in SA, disabling Pyzor, and mirroring all RBLs
you use locally.

Hi,
As discussed earlier, some spamhaus is now blocking more servers than
before. I had to disable spamhaus checks to fix up my servers (even a
server that handles less than 2000 messages a day).
I'm also seeing the lookups on completewhois.com failing about 40% of
the time, I might remove them as well.
Regards,
Rick

What do you mean here? If you don't want to use Pyzor or Razor you would
comment out the loadplugin lines in v310.pre. To avoid lint errors after
commenting them out do not use configuration items like:
use_pyzor 0
This thread may possibly help you determine where SA spends its time:

1. Yes there is
2. As far as I know, yes. If it is using the resolv.conf in the machine
it is running on. Spamassassin is called by Amavis which is called by
Postfix, in none of these I can find any reference to another DNS number.
Thanks

Is there a nameserver running on the same machine where SpamAssassin
is installed? Are you using it as the resolver?
