Have seen a number issues with DNS lookups that appear to be resolved if IPv6 is either configured correctly or disabled completely. Just a thought. Have been using spamassassin for well over a year and it has been great. Highly recommended. And if anyone is operating a full blown email server I highly recommend checking out greylisting. This has reduced spam at my site from 3000 to 6000 spam messages a day to 6 or 8 spam messages. And those get trapped by spamassassin. -- Scot L.
