Re: Amavis Hiccups?

HI, Justin. Which setting do you have enabled on SA?
(assuming you
check spam against SpamAssassin). Try disabling RBL checks,
Pyzor,
Razor, DCC, etc. Maybe a stalled communication with one of
those
services is sluggishing down the amavis instance...

Could you post over one of your servers the problematic
message?


Peace,


Luis
