Spamassassin not being called.

[Nick Gilbert <ni...@x-rm.com>]

Hi,

I have a problem whereby spamassassin isn't always processing messages. 
It is being called by SimScan.

I can see from the headers that SimScan IS being called but it doesn't 
ALWAYS seem to be able to process the messages with SpamAssassin - 
resulting in 300+ SPAM messages a day going into my inbox.

Running spamassassin -D -t < spam.txt works fine but I have just noticed 
that if I call spamc < spam.txt, most of the time it takes AGES to 
complete - and even when it does, the messages are often missing the 
spamassassin headers implying they haven't been processed.

The box was previously reliable but I have recently upgraded from 3.0.3 
to 3.1.6 and the problems seemed to have started at this time (but I did 
change a few other things too such as rules.

Any ideas anybody?

Nick...

I am noticing this from time to time also using Mimedefang, but haven't 
figured out how to determine the cause.  I get the Mimedefang headers, 
but no scores from SA.
