Webmail takes too long to send email

[otubo <ot...@fef.unicamp.br>]

Hi fellowship!

    I having some trouble. I am using exim4, spamassassin and 
squirrelmail. When I disable the spamassassin scanning at the exim4.conf 
my browser keep thinking less than 13 seconds, but when I enable the 
scanning my browser takes more than a minute to send the email.

    I´m calling the SA scanning from my acl_check_data section. The part 
of the code is right below:

warn
    spam      = spamd:true
    message      = X-Spam_score: $spam_score\n\
                          X-Spam_score_int: $spam_score_int\n\
                          X-Spam_bar: $spam_bar
    condition = ${if <{$message_size}{200K}{yes}{no}}

warn   
    spam          = spamd
    message          = X-Spam_flag: YES
    condition = ${if <{$message_size}{200K}{yes}{no}}
  

dont know where is the problem, could somebody help me?

Thnaks!

Exim does not run the acl_smtp_data ACL for command-line (sendmail) 
generated e-mails. If you wanted to scan these too, you would need to create 
an acl_not_smtp ACL: 
http://www.exim.org/exim-html-4.60/doc/html/spec.html/ch39.html#id2664564

If you don't want to scan messages from the webmail, add a line like 
this above your spam scanning code:

accept  hosts = 127.0.0.1:+relay_from_hosts

If you do want to scan webmail messages but don't want to wait for the 
scanning to complete, you can configure you webmail to use "sendmail" 
instead of SMTP.  Although, I'm not 100% sure if exim scans mail sent 
through the sendmail interface.

It may not be the whole (or indeed any part of) the problem, but ...

Exim ACLs are evaluated from top to bottom, in order, and only as far as
necessary. So rewrite that as

  warn
      condition = ${if <{$message_size}{200K}{yes}{no}}
      spam      = spamd:true
      message      = X-Spam_score: $spam_score\n\
                            X-Spam_score_int: $spam_score_int\n\
                            X-Spam_bar: $spam_bar

>     message          = X-Spam_flag: YES
>     condition = ${if <{$message_size}{200K}{yes}{no}}

and similarly in that one.
